Hi,

I've got 2 identical versions of Win7, they both legal and I have the Activation Keys for both.
However one is being used and one isn't. I'm currently building a 2nd PC and wanted to use the other copy on there, so need to know which key is used (so I can use the other one).

Is there an easy way to find out which Key I'm already using?
I don't even need the whole key, just enough so I can identify it.

I'm a little nervous to use any 3rd party apps, but I'm probably just being paranoid...

Thanks.
 
They 'key' will be in the registry but it'll be encrypted and unreadable, so I don't know if there is a way to read it without an app of some sort.

The only other way would be to delete the first pc and reinstall with one of they keys then you'll know which to use on the 2nd pc - probably not the advice you wanted but there you go - :D
