On the wrapping, you should have gotten a sticker that goes on the chassis of the PC itself, and the key is on it. Do you still have that? You should, as it is a legal measure.

If not, call Microsoft. They aren't nasty people as some make them out to be. They will be very helpful for ya. :wink:

I work for a computer company...

Simply call Microsoft and tell them what happened... chances are they will provide you with a key. :wink:

Most keys available on the net have been blacklisted by Microsoft as you still have to register with them after you do the install. Your best course of action, as stated, is to call them.

Its Pro. I bought it from best buy and kept the CD in my computer desk. He threw the box that was in the den away.
