Sry for this...My question is how to find the OS key...Not the registration or serial key...I that is something we call product ID

Rajan Maheshwari 9-Jul-13 6:09am

Ok u mean product ID..What i found in Win7 is just right click on my computer and click on properties..At the bottom u ll see the Product ID under the Window Activation Label

Solution 2

the easiest way of finding the serial number is the following:

Run Command Prompt by typing "cmd" (without the quotes) in the search bar and hitting enter.

Type in the following (again, without the quotes): "wmic bios get serialnumber"
Make sure there isn't a space between the words serial and number. Hit enter.

It will output two lines, the first will say "SerialNumber" and the next line will have your serial number on it!
