Assuming you still have Windows installed... download and install the exe
file for AIDA32, a system info tool. Once you have it installed, open it up
and go into the "Operating System" section. The Product Key is listed in
there. Don't confuse this with the Product ID, which is not really
important. The *key* is what you need to install the software.
AIDA32 has lots of other interesting info ;)
