I bought Windows 8 not even a week ago, and had installed it on an older PC whilst my laptop, which i wanted to install windows 8 on initially was in at Samsung for repairs. PC issues is stating this:. Windows Isn't activated. This Product Key is already in use on another PC. Please try a different key, or buy a new one. Now, the question i have to ask is how to get Microsoft activation servers to recognize that the key is valid, or is this even possible? This thread is locked.

In addition, what I received was a power adapter for a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 which is a completely different laptop! Norton Antivirus and other trial software that is typically included. In my case, the standard operating procedure SOP for me is to install a SSD that is purchased separately since it is significantly cheaper to do it that way instead of having it pre built with one.
The new ThinkPads use 7mm height drives versus the typical 9. The best option currently are the Samsung Series SSD since they are 7mm height, reasonable priced, fast and reliable. It is an extremely easy process that requires removing 5 screws and swapping the drives out. Without the product key, you are stuck with the problem of how to activate a fresh install of Windows, in this case, Windows 8 Pro.
The solution is to call Lenovo Technical Support at and speak to a technician explaining the situation. Depending on the quality of the representative, it may take some time to understand the predicament.
Once they understand the problem, the solution is they will send a sticker with the product key on it to place on the bottom of your laptop free of charge. Ironically, documentation from the manual states that this sticker is placed underneath in the battery compartment and there is even a place that fits in perfectly.
In addition, Windows Aero transparency makes the environment more attractive. It is a fully loaded operating system with numerous compatibility and security enhancements to provides better performance and more reliability. Windows Defender can detect almost all the threats to the data and the OS.
It can also efficiently handle your data and the media with a wide range of built-in applications. The enterprise version tends to give more control to the power users as well as it has the ability to cater all the home and business needs.
