I have recently installed Windows 7 on my PC. I went to reinstall my required software but I have lost the product key to my Windows Expression Studio 3.
Is there any way of recovering this from the old.windows file? Failing that, is there anyway of recovering it at all?
This found the current Windows 7 key and my Office 2010 key but no other software.
I pointed it to the old.windows location but it pulled nothing up. Thanks for the suggestion. Neat tool.
Any other ideas?
You could try Recuva: Recuva - Download
You could even contact Microsoft if you still have proof of purchase.
Nothing found here. How is it best to contact Microsoft? I will have to dig out proof of purchase.
I think your best bet would be to use the telephone activation wizard, but just wait for someone to talk to.
You'll need the Product ID (not the product key) which you'll find under System Properties.
Proof of purchase will be handy too.
Also the disc and any packaging that may help - plus your credit card for payment if they issue replacement key.
