Yes. Download and install PC Wizard. It's a system information program that will tell you most everything you need to know about your computer. It has a section listing installed software and product keys.

there should be a 2/3" X 3" COA yellowish sticker on your computer--maybe underneath a laptop or on the side of a desktop which I believe is your product key.

There's been a few changes to PC Wizard since I last used it. You will find the product key in the Configuration section. Click on the Windows icon, then click on Serial Number and it will show the product key in the bottom pane.

Not a note for you, bracks02, since you fixed, but should someone else need I came across ProducKey. MajorGeeks and SoftPedia show it to be clean.

Though CPUID's PCWizard is the bomb compared to ProduKey.
