Reinstalling windows


Question Posted Sunday January 20 2008, 1:37 am

I was trying to do an overhaul on my computer & when I put in the installation disc it wants me to put in my product key. Well, obviously I threw it away...can't find it anywhere. I was wandering if anyone can tell me where I can find it on my computer? It has to be on here somewhere! Please, help. Sooooooo frusterated! Thanks!

It's usually on the back near the cables, on a sticker with a barcode. If you can't find it, you can use a keygen to generate a new one. Keygens are legally dubious, so I can't link to one here, but hopefully you'll be able to find one.

Sometimes the product key is on a sticker located on the back of the case. Also check the package your OS came in. Have you reformatted the drive yet?

and a picture of what the sticker may look like: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If all else fails and you need an OS, you can always borrow a friend's computer and download or order Ubuntu(order a CD for free, they pay shipping and handling too), a free OS with a great GUI!
