Random question, I have 2 desktops and 3 laptops that were all running Win 7 and which were upgraded for free to Win 10.

One of the laptops hard drive has failed and I need to reinstall the OS on a new drive. Issue is I have no idea what key that machine was using. I still have all the keys but didn't record which machine had which.

I appreciate that I have missed the free upgrade window, but Win 7 will be fine for this machine. I assume though that I shouldn't use a key that is already in use with one of my other machines?

Is there a way to work out what key is being used in the other machines that have now been upgraded so I can work out by elimination which one to use here?
