Hi I need help I purchased an Alienware and recently I needed to reload th
esoftware but the tag has the numbers blurry. What can be done I talked to
Alienware and they tell me to contact Microsoft. I can send pictures of the
license, the laptop numbers everything.
HELP!!!!!!
Because you have an OEM license *ONLY* the computer manufacturer can
help you; Microsoft can't, by contract with the OEM.
If your system still runs, you should be able to use Belarc
Advisor from
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html to find the
Product Key. (If you have a factory-installed OEM license, and
haven't since reinstalled the OS, the revealed Product Key is probably
of the drive image used at the factory and not your specific Product
Key; therefore, it probably cannot be -- and definitely should not
be -- used for a re-installation.)
