hi, i upgraded windows 8 over the top of windows 7, the windows.old folder is still on my drive, the problem i have is the sticker on the bottom of my laptop with my product key on has now vanished and warn down were i cannot read it.
the win 7 i had on my laptop was a preinstalled version and i have the dell disk that has the installation on it, i am not sure being a custom dell disk if it asks for the product key or not, or if it auto adds it from the disk, either way id like to know if theres a way i can get my old key from my laptop and just write it down before i format and reinstall windows 7.
can anyone help please?
