Re: Find Your Windows Product ID

I use WinKeyFinder. It's quite small and has several extra features such as a password generator and other key related options.
I just got SIW (System Information for Windows) and it tells you everything there is to know about your system including keys, hardware info, and software info.

Re: Find Your Windows Product ID

Usually the Product ID on major manufacturer's machines (such as Dell) is an OEM key which may be on all of those purchased in a batch. When reinstalling from the OEM disc you should use that ID, not the one you will find stuck on the side of the cabinet. However, the one on the cabinet is your actual license key.
