Windows 7 lost product key
Okay so I'm going to explain this in detail so i dont sound like a pirate looking for a free CD key (saw a post like this, and he was pointed out as one) So about 2 years ago, I bought a preloaded Dell Studio XPS from Dell. It came preloaded with Windows 7. Needless to say, I'm not gentle with moving it, mixed with the heavy use it received, made the sticker get 1/2 way ripped off, so i cant see the product key. I can see about 10 of the keys, but that's not good enough (obviously) Also, I found the computer on Dell.com under the "My Products and Services" area, I just don't know how to get in contact with them to get the key back.
The reason I need the key, about a month ago I downloaded Windows 8 Customer Preview, and I loved it. But, one day it crashed and I couldn't do anything about it (Was too stupid to put it on a disc/ didn't think i would need the system restores) So, I had to get a Windows 7 disc from a friend and reboot my computer from scratch. Now that its all up and working now, I want to get my old product key so I can activate it. Like i said, I have the computer in Dell.com and the case is still sitting next to me, so i have the proof that i have it, but I just need someone to point me to the area where i can talk to a Dell/ Microsoft employee who can get me my key back.
Thank you in advance (Another thank you for reading that huge block of text above me)
