    Re-installing Office with a product key after factory reset.


    Hi all,


    i have a 28GB hard drive and i can't download anything because i've used up all but 400MB of my C drive, thing is i have nothing on there and it shows that Microsoft takes 21GB while AVG takes up 6GB with 128 thousand files on my computer between them.


    i'd like to factory reset my computer but i have Office 2016 on it and don't want to lose it. i still have my product key, is there a way i can install Office after factory reset?

    :)

    How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

    Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


    First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

    I will assume that these devices belong to you.

    step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
    step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
    step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
    step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
    step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
    step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

    Break command list: Break Commands

    Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

    If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

    Windows PC Reset Option Product Key/Office

    Assuming you've performed no hardware changes: no, you will not need a product key for Windows 10 to do a remove-everything reset.
    When it asks you for a product key upon reinstall, just choose "skip this step", "Do this later",
    "I don't have one", or "I'm reinstalling Windows", whatever it offers you.
    It should reactivate automatically after you re-establish your internet connection.
    Just uninstall your version of Office beforehand (de-activate install from your My Office account page), reset, and when the reset is complete go back to your Office account page and reinstall.

    Re-installing Office with a product key after factory reset.

    Product key

    Hi Megan,

    A product key is used when activating a software.
    To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps that can resolve your concern, we'd like to ask the following questions:

    • What product are you trying to activate?
    • Are you looking for the product key to activate your Office application?
    • Which version of Office are you trying to activate? To check this, you can perform the steps posted on this
      link.
    • Are you looking for the product key to activate your Windows?

    We look forward to your response.
