Lost the product key that comes with your Windows installation disk? Not to worry — it is lurking deep inside Windows.
From your Start Menu, choose Run, then type REGEDIT in the box and
click OK.
For Windows 95, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion and look for an entry in the right pane called “ProductId”
In Windows 98 and ME, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion and look for an entry called “ProductKey”
In Windows 2000 and XP, there are in fact two entries, both called
“ProductKey”, one under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion and another in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WinNT\CurrentVersion.

Hi,
I need to find the product key for my work computer and it does not have a sticker on it with the number on it. I have already erased the hard drive and now trying to re-install windows and i need the product key to do so.
if you know of a way to fix my problem that would be great.

Did you have any original CD with Windows installations? Maybe you don’t need the product key.
Let us know what you have!
