Lost Vista Product Key

[Jennifer Lynn Underwood]

My father bought me a laptop about a year ago, and i never entered a product
key, i didnt know that i had too. i have since moved, and lost my box that
the laptop came in. How do i get a product key without having to pay for one?

The Vista product key has nothing to do with Microsoft Office. The product
key for a laptop is normally found on the bottom of the laptop.

Usually with preinstalled version of win the product key is on a label
afixed to the underside of the Laptop, which clearly states Windows Key
You must have activated vista, otherwise you couldnt have continued to use
it for more than a short while.
If you are now being prompted to enter a product Key, something else is
going on with your system

Hi Jen

There is yet another way other than looking into the affixed label.
'Product Key' could also be available in the windows registry. But, i
believe its in encryted form. So, you can use the Product Key finder to get
this.
