help extracting the product key
There is something wrong with my older system, and I'm at the point
where it's easier to reinstall the OS than try to figure out how to fix it. Unfortunely, I've looked all over and can't find the cover thing that has the product key code on it. I remember there was a way to get into the registry and extract it with regedit, but it's been years since I've had to do this, can somebody either point me to a website or list the procedure again? |
