there's tutorials on how to find your key in the registry, I suggest you try that

^ also there's a program that will scan your whole system for keys ( games apps etc )

Magic Jelly Bean is your answer. It will scan your system and display any keys it finds for supported programs.

magic jelly bean is good. you want the product cd key.

 

I use one called Produkey since it finds more keys and is portable

some build PCs have a backup image of your OS, is stored  on a hidden partion that  you can enable on the startup of your system by pressing some F keys, you should check  your manual
