Hi:

The W8.1 product key for your notebook is in the BIOS.

See if you can install W8.1 like this...You may have to try this two ways..

Your model number indicates that you live in a Scandinavian country. 

If your country is a member of the EU, you may have to select the W8.1 N ISO file to download.  

If you do not live in an EU country, then you would select the plain W8.1 ISO file download.

Install W8.1 by creating the Microsoft installation media, using another Windows PC, if yours is not working...You want W8.1 64 bit.

Only if you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, use this generic key.

This is the generic key for W8.1 'standard.'

 334NH-RXG76-64THK-C7CKG-D3VPT

This is the generic product key for W8.1 N 'Standard.'

6NPQ8-PK64X-W4WMM-MF84V-RGB89

If you had to enter the generic key, manually change the generic product key to the W8.1 'standard' key in your PC's BIOS in the PC settings menu.

After you get W8.1 installed, and you had to manually enter the W8.1 generic product key, you will need to run the free utility I zipped up and attached below, that will show you show the W8.1 product key in your PC's BIOS.

I have also zipped up and attached below, the Microsoft tool which hopefully will transfer the ISO file to a DVD or usb flash drive so it is bootable.

Then you can install the available drivers and software from your PC's support page.

Hi! 

Thanks for the quick reply! 

This is what i have done so far: 

I downloaded  W8.1N 64 

Made a boot usb. 

Needed to enable legacy mode in bios to get the usb to start up. 

Was prompt to enter key gen, used the keygen for W8.1 N 

Couldt install Windows on disk beacuse of wrong partition. 

did diskpart with cleanall function and changed the partition to MBR in command function. 

W8.1 N installation started up but an Error occurred.

This is the error code: 

0x80070570

You're very welcome.

I suggest you do a search of the code.

I found this, for example...

Hi again! 

Now i have W8.1N Installed after some attemps whit different usb sticks and a bruned iso dvd in the end that made it

work. 

But i cant get the OEM key to work! 

Looks like its for a windows version called Win 8.1 RTM Core OEM:DM. 

Is that a special version i need to install to get the OEM key to work?

Hi:

OK, try the plain (non-N version) of the W8.1 ISO file and use the generic non-N product key if you need to.

Then see if your Win 8.1 RTM Core OEM:DM key activates this time.

Okey, i downloaded W8.1 and started the installtion, didnt ask for keygen so it worked. 

When i open System file it says that Windows isnt aktivated. 

I connect the laptop to internett and after some minuttes it says that Windows is activated but whit 

a different keygen that i have never seen before. It isnt the same as the keygen finde found for me.

But i gues its okey then? 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Hi:

If Windows reports that it is activated, then you are good to go.

That is really the only thing you need to be concerned about...Windows is Activated.

If you are referring to the Product ID code that you see below the Windows is Activated message, that is not the same as the product key in your notebook's BIOS.

[PRoenningen]

Sounds good!

Thanks for the help!

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.
