MarkJohnson Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I have reinstalled Windows 7 on my RAID0 drive and I seem to have lost my activation key and the email. Is there a way to retrieve it from Microsoft or someplace?Thanks in advance-=Mark=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJohnson Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I found it with more searching. For those not in the know, just go to microsoft.com and choose to download Windows 7 RC and it will ask you to log back in and it will give you the key on the download page and you won't have to download anything if you don't want to. It says the download option expires August 20, 2009, but you can get your product key up until the RC expires on June 1, 2009.-=Mark=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beta expired then, the RC expires in 2010, with limited use starting March 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
