When to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support

Customer service

If you have general customer service questions, a customer service representative can help you by locating the appropriate answers or resources. Depending on the issue, you may be directed to a team that specializes in a particular area. Or, you may be directed to a Web site that answers your question.

Technical support

If you want technical support for a Microsoft product, a customer service representative can help you determine what support options are available. These may include self-help and assisted support. The representative may request the product identification number or the product key to determine the warranty status and version of the product.

Assisted support methods vary by product and may include telephone, chat, or e-mail. The representative can explain the methods and hours that support is available for the product. To check the options that are available, visit the following Web site, and then select a product from the list:
http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=hub (http://support.microsoft.com/select/?target=hub)

Contact hardware and software vendors

If the Microsoft software came preinstalled by the computer manufacturer, you may be redirected to the manufacturer to determine whether support is available through them.

If your technical issue involves a non-Microsoft product, you may be directed to contact the vendor of that product.

For information about how to contact hardware and software vendors, visit the following Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors/en-us (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors/en-us)
Or, visit the following Microsoft Web site to find the computer manufacturers' contact information:

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
