OEM Key

[Sgt_Pepper]

when i built my Mum and Dads PC i installed XP Oem, they're never gonna upgrade so didn't see the point in Retail. Now the problem...

... i think my mum may have thrown out the XP booklet with the OEM key on the back. And i cant be bothered getting every box and drawer out to check.

Their Windows install has become seriously un-usable, so i'm gonna do a fresh install for them. Is there anyway of finding this key within windows, or do i need to buy a new one.


Merry Xmas.

OMG send me to jail, a simple YES/NO would have done.




But then again, did i stick it to the case? Mmmmmm, might have to check on that.

It would not have been stuck to the booklet unless you stuck it on there, it comes attached to the plastic film around the booklet/disc.

I stuck it to the booklet, because when i first built their pc it was in an old case i had, till i could get them a new one. so i stuck it to the book wrote on it whos pc it was for then put it in that safe place where you can never remember . Seeing as the key is tied to the motherboard and not the case, i deemed this reasonable.
