A colleague of mine has reinstalled Win 7 on a laptop (without first using keyfinder or similar to get the product key) and now we need to activate it but there is one character missing off the sticker where it's worn.
I don't want to reenter the product key 30+ times tryng all the possibilities - does anyone know if there's a Microsoft UK phone number or a support forum etc I can contact, where they would be able to work out what the missing character is?
Or - we have the old install as a windows.old file - is there a way of finding the product key somehow from windows.old?
