Here are some utilities, all of which will display your product keys:

Belarc Advisor: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

(It does a good job of providing a wealth of information.)

Also: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

and: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Note: Also check the side of your PC case or bottom of the laptop for the

OEM key code. If there is a sticker with the code it will most likely not

match what is displayed by the utilities mentioned above as OEMs such as

Dell use an internal key code when they build your PC.

The key code on the sticker is for use with your Windows CD

(that hopefully came with your PC)

if you ever need to reinstall Windows.

Never be afraid to ask. This forum has some of the best people in the world available to help.

If you have 3 computers all from the same PC manufacture (HP, Dell, Acer, Toshiba, Etc.) then the product key may be the same on all three.

If you have a "Retail" boxed version of Windows 7 then the same key may have been used on all 3 computers (which is not allowed).

Download and run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool on one of the 3 computers:

I tried and was successful with belarc.com; however, I have three (3) different computers that came up with the same key code; can anyone explain why this is?
