Medking Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hey everyone, I'm about to install the Release Candidate of Windows 7, however it would appear that I have either misplaced the paper with my key, or thrown it out by accident, thinking I wasn't going to go farther than 7077.... So, can I find the key in the registry? Or use a software to find it? (My key is legitimate and everything, used my email etc to login on Microsoft and get it....surely there must be some way to recover a lost key?) If not, bugger, Thanks, Medking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tyranade Subscriber² Posted May 2, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted May 2, 2009 Jusy go to Microsofts website and in the beta download page, you cant download it anymore but it wil let you get your key. Done it several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I8PP Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Can you log back in to whatever MS site you got it from and retrieve the key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medking Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Oh wow, I didn't think it was that simple, going there now, thanks for the quick response! Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Request one here, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7...a-download.aspx perhaps you're lucky you had one tied to your ID and can use that? EDIT: Darn, slow :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharp65 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 You can still go back to the site they used to give out beta keys and get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medking Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hmm, the site is being a little bit non-responsive. I'm using Chrome though, Ima try it in IE8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Yeah, had the same issue when I tried to get back my key, wouldn't load in Chrome, had to use IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
