You can find the product key by using the Registry editor, like this: 1. Go to Start/Run and type regedit 2. Click on OK and maximize the new window. 3. Click on the (+) sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 4. Click on the (+) sign next to SOFTWARE. 5. Click on the (+) sign next to MICROSOFT. 6. Click on the (+) sign next to WINDOWS. 7. Click on the yellow folder called "Current Version" on the left panel. Then on the right panel you'll be able to see lots of data, and the Product Key should be one of them. Scroll down if necessary until you find it.
