    Lost Window OS key


    I purchased a laptop 4 years ago and with it came original windows product key.


    It had to be formatted this time and the product key is lost.


    I took a snap shot of the my pc before format and I thought it was the product. Now that I want to activate it, it seems that it is not the one which needs to be entered.


    My microsoft account still shows the previous laptop but does not show the product ID.


    What to do ?

    :)

    lost windows activation key, need new free os thats just as easy as windows

    Basiclly i came to reinstall windows, formatted my harddrive then when it came to activate i lost my oem key thing, it wasnt a sticker on my case but printed out and ive lost it. I no, noway of getting it back so i need an alternative os thats easy to use. Linux was way too hard for me. Things like updating flash player etc with windows you just doubble click the icon then next till its done, linux on the other hand was allot harder. So guys any advice?
