Retrieve lost Windows product key

 

Computers occasionally break down. And sometimes reinstalling Windows is the best fix. It gives you a clean slate to begin again. Now where did you leave the box your Windows disc came in?

If you can’t find it, you could be in trouble. To combat piracy, Windows requires a product key for installation. That key is printed somewhere on the packaging. But many people keep the disc and toss the box.
