No key, no image, no recovery disc, no recovery partition - you really live on the wild side. Install Linux Mint. It is free and a nice OS.

Try using Magic Jellybean Keyfinder to find your Windows Activation Key
Or look on the side of the computer for an activation sticker.
Open Tuneup , click additional tools , click system information , click windows.
Thanks a lot. Found it. However System Information is located under "Fix Problems" Tab. There is no "Additional Tools" Tab. May be we are using different versions of Tuneup Utilities. I would rate Tuneup Utilities as one of the 6 best programs that I have used other than the OS itself and MS Office.
The tweaking utilities on TuneUp Utilities are the cause of many problems seen here.
Compound tweaking of the OS beyond normal system settings is not tolerated by Win7 - it is too lean an OS to begin with.
Of course there's nothing wrong with auditing Product Keys or other System Info. But who needs to spend $50 for a program that claims 50% speed increase by turning off programs starting up with Windows when you can do that and the other safe essential optimizing steps in minutes for free: Clean up factory bloatware
If you still have the Windows in activated state, try Advanced Tokens Manager Josh Cell Softwares: Advanced Tokens Manager - The Activation Backup Solution and check whether it could backup your activation and retrieve your key. ( Run it from a pendrive as an administrator)
