REVO Missing Windows 7 License Sticker

a1ex2001 · 7 Feb 2011 at 11:16

I purchased my Revo R3610 over a year ago now and it's been running pretty much flawlessly. I have however changed my home network around so I no longer need any storage space in the Revo, so I planned to swap it's disk drive for a smaller faster model to speed things up a little.

I've hit a bit of a hurdle in that I purchased my Revo with Windows 7 installed from a reputable retailer, but it doesn't have the license sticker with the product key anywhere on the box making it pretty dificult for me to re-install on the new disk when I get one!

Anyone have an experience of a similar situation, what did you do to get round it?

acronis or ghost are free also if you know where to acquire them

might try pulling the serial back using software, not to keen on cloning the drive as it feels like a good oppertunity for a clean install to speed things up a little more.

magic jellybean will work

no need to extract to a folder, just run it from the zip

write the cd key in permanent marker on the inside of the case panel
