so i got a friend that, his comp needed to be reinstalled. but he doesnt have a windows cd key. i got the windows disk but how can we get a cd key to reinstall his comp?
they have special tool that reveal your current serial and they are free belarc advisor for one
IT at my company uses it all the time
or you can do a google for revealing serials hope this helps
Use the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder or RockXP to retrieve it. Both should work. That first app has a goofy as hell name but I used it regularly at my last job.
If he registered his copy, can’t he just call Microsoft?
Much less of a hassle to just use a keyfinder, assuming he can boot into windows at all.
problem is we already started installing it and now we cant get back in the pc. were just in the window were it asks for the product key. so unless theres another way to get the key were fuked. isnt there another way tho.so we cnat boot into windows right now
Did you already format the drive? If not then you may be able to make a BartPE CD (Bootable XP CD), put Magic Jellybean on a flash drive and run it from there. Otherwise you’re probably out of luck.
Today’s lesson: Make sure to back up anything important before you format. Like, oh, the key to reinstall… 
what if i give him my key would it work? bc he is installing windows with my disk.
That’s technically copyright infringement but it will more than likely work. It will probably also pass activation unless you’ve angered the gods of Microsoft.
EDIT: Never mind I got my point across.
I was under the impression we were keeping this legitimate. If he wanted to use a key generator etc. I assumed he could have Google’d that pretty easily.
can u guys pm me the details this is new to me id really appreciate it. or just aim me at blazeu25
If you have a legitimate key, just call Microsoft.
