  • Installed OEM genuine win 7 pro 64 bit in home built PC in 2012. Can't find it anywhere in remodeling house mess! Thinking of doing a clean install IF I can get product key. Any way to find what mine is on my PC?

  • Since Microsoft does not replace OEM software media, you can purchase genuine Windows 7 here.

  • You can find your Product Key using ProduKey (assuming you can access the registry of the PC in question) - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

    The trick then is to get a valid copy of the software ;)

  • Having said OEM, it was on a CD. My son had some licenses (in 2011 actually).
    Product key is not the problem; I assume I need the CD license key?

  • The Product Key is NOT on the CD- although it is on the COA sticker that should have been attached to the computer's case on installation (and is included in the packaging)
