Need help discovering my license to reinstall corrupted windows
Hi All,
My windows 7 system is failing to boot so I'm looking at having to reformat my drive and reinstall.
As I can't boot up my system, most of the options for finding out my license key I have found on the internet are pretty much redundant, does anyone have any suggestions?
To clarify, I'd like the license/key that allows me to legally reinstall windows once I have wiped my drive, as I don't want to have to pay for a whole new license as I don't feel I should have to!
Is this something that is possible to do? If so can I do it without being able to boot my system? (I can access the command prompt as an option of the windows bootup repair, and can access files by booting Ubuntu from a USB stick)
Thanks
Edit: I can find no trace of the windows sticker which usually lists such information
