Windows installation on Hp dv4 2124tx (Problems)

Hi guyz !

I,ve HP pavilion dv4 2124tx since last 2 years ! It was working well but few days back it started giving problems(I tried Recovery manager to recover to its factory condition but it didn,t worked ) Then i reinstalled Windows 7 (NOT GENIUNE),,

And i realized that i can,t activate windows now :smileysad:
Sadly and badly i didn,t Created any Recovey Disk or any backups:smileysad:

Now i can,t Activate Windows.And recovery partition is also removed. My question is that is there any way to Activate my Windows 7..  I can not afford buying geniune windows 7 CD... If problem is no resolved i will have to sell my laptop which i really don,t want to sell :smileysad:
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate N and istalled all updates instead of SP 1 update  !

Re: Windows installation on Hp dv4 2124tx (Problems)

Hi,

 

Let me know the following.

 

1.  What was the full version of the operating system that originally came with your notebook - ie Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit?

 

2.  Can you still read the full activation key on the COA sticker underneath your notebook - this should be in the form of 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric entries?  Don't post these, just let me know if you can still see them clearly.

 

Regards,

Hi,

            

The only option you have if the COA sticker is illegible is to order a replacement set of HP Recovery Discs using the link below - these will activate automatically.  The cost does vary depending on where you live, but should certainly be cheaper than a retail installation disc.

 

Order HP Recovery Discs.
