asked on Windows 7 Home Key (License)
Hi,
I have a client with a laptop running W 7 Home. It is still up and running but I need to replace the HDD. The problem is that
the Microsoft sticker is so worn that I can; t read the W 7 license.
Is there a program, preferably free, that, when run, will tell me what the Windows 7 key license is?
Will the same program work with W 8.1 and or W 10?
Thanks

Joe,
I was writing my comment at the same time that you were writing your reply.

Thanks to both of you. Joe had the most complete answer.
Understand that a KEY is NOT a LICENSE. A key ENABLES a license.
You're welcome — happy to help. And the answers to your other two questions are both yes — it will show the key (I'm sure you meant key, not license) on an OEM/pre-installed OS and it will show the key when you install the OS on a new HDD/SSD/SSHD. Regards, Joe

Thanks Lee and Joe for your extra help.
Does it get the license from an operating system that is pre installed by the manufacturer (OEM) and when I get the license from "Magical Jelly Bean" will it work when I install W 7 on a new HDD.
Thanks
