I have windows 7 installed on a PC and a laptop. I gave the laptop to my mother in law recently. It was fine until she got it home and accessed the internet but now it says "not a genuine copy of windows" or whatever the message is.
I have 2 activation keys but can't find where I wrote down which was used on the PC or the laptop. Is there a way to find what the activation key was that I used on my PC so that I know which key to use to reactivate the laptop?

No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

right click on computer and click properties. You may need to scroll down to see the key. -

That's the product id or product key. I want the 25 character/ 5 sets of 5 activation key. Is there a way to find out which one was used?No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.
