How to get the key of Activation Windows 7 (Vista upgrade)

I just replaced a broken in my Dell Inspiron HARD drive.
Initially, it came with Vista Home Premium as the operating system standard. The product key to which is attached to the base of the laptop.
I've upgraded to Windows 7 in the middle of the year last using a purchased upgrade DVD, it used the existing prouct key to run as much as I can make out.
Everything was fine and everything worked well and saved OK.

I replaced the HARD drive and subsequently had to reinstall Vista from DVD, the recovery once that has been completed I reinstalled Windows 7 from the DVD upgrade. Its now ask the activation key for Windows 7. The vista it won't work (as it is a Vista one). I don't have a key to windows 7 I had a DVD upgrade.

I think I must have missed the activation step when I reinstalled Vista and before you reinstall 7, is it possible to sort without having to buy a new copy of 7? Should I go back to Vista and enable that first, then reinstall 7?

Any suggestions?

TIA

Not good, I don't remember come with a key in the back of a case of cd cover. I would have kept it safe until he did! It was not a d/l, so no info in this way.

However I managed to find a small program that retrieves the registry keys. It will also find them in the old registry if you point to the correct folder on an external HARD drive. I should have said it does not appear that the portion of the BONE of the drive that broke the other files and folders are almost always intact and accessible.

I am now running properly, now fix itunes!

Thanks for your help anyway.

    I bought Lenovo laptop, 2 years back, and he had windows 7 Home premium.  Now it is showing my windows cannot be real and asks for the key for verification. Key was written on a label on the back of my laptop. The key is now unreadable on the sticker. I'm looking for the key to verification?

  • Can I get my key of Activation Windows 7 use count reset?

    I often re - install Windows 7 I have main regularly updated my system / re install so that a new installation (much faster)... Unfortunately, I recently started to get an error code saying I used my key too many times... I called Microsoft Customer support and after 2 hours juggled back from a Ministry to and being hung up, I finally got someone who could help... They did a phone activation and everything works now... The only problem being that I'll have to go through that * every time that I try to reinstall windows in the future... Is it possible to get my CD key discount or I'm just going to break my legitimate OS in the future when I re format my system (that I will not to put up with the customer service given by Microsoft).

    If you make major changes such as changing the hard drive or motherboard will require relocation and reactivation every time.

    My recommendation is to create a system image now of your activated installation.

    So when you decide to make such changes only to reinstall Windows 7 or to change the key components, restore the image.

    Hello

    You need to reset the router back to factory settings and set up your network wireless since the beginning.

    It has normally a button at the back of the router to reset.

    Instructions to set up your wireless network will be at the website of the manufacturer of the router.
