  1. Product key identification


    I have two windows product keys from computers that were destroyed in a tornado. is there a way to find out what version of windows they are for? Pretty sure one was an upgrade from Vista Pro and the other was a upgrade from 8 but not sure if it was pro or not. building a new computer and was hoping to use the "PRO" key for a clean Win 10 install.

    :)

    Where is my Product Key if I want to re-install?


    Like davidhk said. But if you really want to see your windows key, I would suggest Belarc advisor. It will give you some useful information about your system, product keys of your software is among them (not only Microsoft, you will have listed most of your keys).

    • What product are you trying to activate?

      link.
    • Are you looking for the product key to activate your Windows?

    We look forward to your response.
