Default find your product id....

Where does Window's ProductId get stored ?
this is great if you "loose you key" just so you dont have to borrow some one elses (now that would drive me nutts)

There are two places at least where ProductId gets stored.
To see the first place,
1 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]. In right pane, look for key by the name "ProductId". This is your Windows Product Id.

OR Alternatively you can navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur
rentVersion] and still find same field with the name ProductId.

If you need the OS key, download this free program and once installed go to the OS section and it will give you a bunch of information including the key.

Here is another free program to display your Windows product key and also other Microsoft products such as Office. You can change your product key at any time if you installed the wrong serial number. If you do this, Windows update won't allow you to download updates. I've had to use that on a few occasions and it worked.
