Repair Install Deactivated Windows, don't have Key, recovery possible?
I need to recovery my Software Key for Windows after a Repair Install. Stupidly didn't back it up.
So I swapped mobo's and ran into some problems so I did a repair install to resolve them. After the Repair Install, Windows deactivated and is asking for my key again. Unfortunately I do not have my key and I am unsure whether I will be able to find it again (having moved around a few times, I am unsure if I even have the install disks). After swapping mobo's Windows did NOT deactivate, everything was fine activation wise after the swap. I don't suppose there is any way to recover my key, is there?
Right now, I've noticed that a new folder was created during the upgrade called $WINDOWS.~Q that seems to have my old registry in there, so I am thinking of trying to back up my current (new) registry and replacing it's files with the ones in that folder and running Belarc to see if it picks up the key then and then putting my new registry back. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Advice? Ideas other than this? :P
The MGDiag Tool probably isn't any use in this situation, but here is the info anyways:
