OK years ago I bought 2 retail copies of Win 7 Home premium to upgrade from OEM Vista.

One is on my current PC, no intentions to change.

Other is on an old laptop on it's last legs. I want to use this copy of Win 7 on a new machine I'm building. I'm not transferring hard drives or software over just a new install on a new machine.

I have the boxes with activation keys. I can find the product ID in the system folder of control panel, how do I work out which activation key goes with which product ID.

Daft noob question, but its got me stumped.

Have pity and help me.
 
Use any key finder on the laptop if it is still operational, magical jelly bean is popular though I normally use Belarc Advisor to get keys before destroying an old system.
