I need to redo my computer, I just need the PRODUCT KEY, which is located on the motherboard

Is the number of ePPID, or I'll have to find a way to get into the BIOS of the motherboard.  There is no sticker.  I want to download a Microsoft program, but they want the product key.  It is OEM, and I do not have a sticker.

For Windows 8/8.1, Media Center is extra cost.

    It's so nuts that I need an activation for windows vista basic product key, because mine is so worn out, I can't read and I already install from scratch with all my pc drivers what a PIN in the lacrosse can someone give me a key

    Hello

    Sorry, but no product key can be given, or are available, free of charge.

    And Microsoft sells more than Vista.

    If your COA sticker is worn:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    This may or may not work as you have reinstalled, and we do not know by what method:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
