How can I find the key I used to install Windows?

As title really. From within Windows itself.

Sorry for Windows 7....preferably free.

Apparently, the software linked doesn't support Windows 7 recovery?

are you wanting the key from a current used w7 install, if so yes it will work fine
if your trying to extract the key from a recovery image, i am not sure if it would work

the free version is fine too
