OOBE Registry no found

[silverlord03]

I can't find OOBE in registry. I need to activate my Windows 8 but the product key failed when activation takes place .Help please

Installing Windows 8, it asks for a valid key early in the process. How did you get past that?

 

[silverlord03]

actually this is a new laptop with an installed OS but then after a few months I can't activate this key. I think I have a corrupted files or something

 

[USAFRet]

Still unsure here.
A 'new' laptop should have the OS already activated. Where did you get this laptop? Contact them.

I bought this brand new from a mall..but I think I made something like messing with this product key. Is there a way?

Bought new, it should already be 'activated'. What have you done to undo that?

 

[silverlord03]

I don't even know. =_=.. I have one suspicion, I think the microsoft office activator?

Do you think, I should buy a fresh copy of windows and reinstall it =_=

As in a pirated MS Office 'activator'? Yes.....your Office and OS install is likely screwed.

 

[silverlord03]

yes a pirate one . 🙁 I think I have clicked something there with connection to my windows key. =_=. What do you think is the best solution ?

 

[USAFRet]

The thing you 'clicked wrong' was downloading that pirated version in the first place. The second thing you did wrong was trying to install it.

Buy a new, legal, valid copy of Windows, from a reputable retailer or Microsoft.
Install with that, wiping the entire drive.

After that, if you really need an office suite - either pay the money for MS Office, or use one of the free, open source alternatives. LibreOffice or OpenOffice.

KMS = Key Management Server. That OS is looking for a corporate key server. You don't have access to that.
The OS is also invalid. Not just Office.

 

[silverlord03]

yes yes.. That's what I plan but it'll cost a lot =_=.. My anti virus has expired so I should buy one. Anyways, do you have any suggestion for a good antivirus. The installed anti virus was McAfee but I plan to buy Kaspersky. Any suggestion?

If I will install a new one, all my drivers will be deleted, right?

 

[USAFRet]

The included Windows Defender in Windows 8 is fine. And free. Or AVG. Or Avast.

Buy and install a valid, legal Windows install.
Or, use one of the hundreds of free Linux installations.

Then come back if you still have issues.

Assistance with fixing pirated software is strictly against the rules here.

Drivers, and everything else.
