Two Win 7 machines, two Win 7 DVDs - which belongs to which ?

[Tuvoc]

As per the title - I want to re-install Windows 7 on one machine but I don't know which DVD (and therefore key) to use.

The key will be on a sticker if you purchased a genuine Windows. Look for the sticker that tells you what version / licence key.

This will tell you the current windows code.

I know this - but I have two DVDs and two machines, and I don't know which DVD was used to install on which machine

OK, so based on this info I googled "keyfinder" and lots of stuff there

Under System Properties, you have a Windows Product Key - I think the DVDs also have this, so it will correspond to one of your disks.

Are the disks the same version? For example Windows 7 Home Premium?

In that case it doesn't matter which disk you use, aslong as you use the licence on the PC.

Yes they are

It doesn't matter what disk you use. You can use the same retail disk to reinstall 100's of machines, as long as you use each computers unique serial key.
