2. right click on the Cd and select Explorer

3. find the file named "USWXP32P_ZX" by typing the name in the search box and pressing the button "Enter". Click the icon of the folder "USWXP32P_ZX".
4. open the folder "Sysprep" by clicking on the folder icon. Open the file 'unattend.txt '.

5. scroll to the bottom of the file 'unattend.txt '. The product key is located on the last line of the file.

Complete installation of the Version:

    You will need to purchase a license/disk/upgrade Windows 7 product key.

    There was a free upgrade offer, but it expired a long time ago:

    "The Windows 7 upgrade Option is available through participating PC manufacturers on some PC and Microsoft on any purchase of packaged product Windows Vista. The Windows 7 upgrade Option applies to Windows Vista Home Premium, Business and Ultimate editions. Your upgrade to Windows 7 will be the comparable version: so you will get either Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional (upgrade to Windows Vista Business) or Windows 7 Ultimate, respectively. The Windows 7 upgrade Option program works on June 26, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Some manufacturers may choose to shorten the time of upgrade Option. »

    need to fine product key for windows 7

    Hello Butterflylove1983,

    Give you specific help, to a more detailed description of the problem and the question you have.

    Some questions that you can answer to help out are:

    1. what version of Windows 7 are you running?
    2 what is an OEM version that came with your computer, or a retail version that you bought?  (or a beta version)
    3. is your enabled copy?
    4. you are trying to locate the key that you used to activate Windows 7? Or you try to get a key, so you can activate Windows 7?

    If you have already activated and used a key, you can download a product such as Belarc Advisor and run it to extract the key.  However, if you have installed Windows 7 and do not use a key, you will need to purchase a license in order to activate it.  This can be done through computer vendors such as newegg.com or amazon.com, or even by the Web sites online.

    If you are looking for a 'free' or 'key to crack', then you come to the wrong place to ask.  Since it is a Microsoft forum, noone in their right mind will tell you where to look for pirated keys or ways around the keys.

    Hope that this help give you to a more detailed explanation of your problem and have a nice day :)
    Patrick.

    For the original version of OS that you got with your laptop, you don't need key product for activation. Whenever you install original recovery image Windows is automatically activated.

    In the past product key label was placed on the bottom of the laptop. New model do not have it.
    Unfortunately you can not do more. Valid product key is part of the original image recovery only and cannot be used for any other activation.
