Hi

As the sticker, under the laptop, with the product key is worn, i tried to find the product key in windows.

I found a product key in a file : "C:\WINDOWS\I386\UNATTEND.TXT".

But the parts of the key remaining on the sticker and the key from the file don't match.

I wonder wether the key from the file is a valid one.

thx if you know

well according to Microsoft you can use an unattended.txt file to activate windows during unattended installation which should have your product key Under the UserData section, type:
ProductID = yourProductID

So the 1 in the txt file should be yours
