Find Windows Product Key on Secondary Drive.

I used *Windows 7 Ultimate, until I sold that computer. I did not sale the harddrive. So the Windows 7 Ultimate is still on the harddrive. I bought a new computer and was unable to just plug in the harddrive with Windows 7 and begin using.

So I need to find the product key for my Windows 7 Ultimate on the harddrive.

Material needed:

Computer capable of having a secondary drive connected to it
*Magic Jellybean keyfinder

*I am not affiliated in any way with any product I reference.

Necessary Prep

JellyBean will need to find a specific folder and file the harddrive. The file is "Software" located in :\Windows\System32\Config

JellyBean would not locate this file, so I moved the System32 file to the main directory of the drive I am searching.

Follow these Steps:

Select Start
Select My Computer
Select the drive (mine was E)
Select Windows
Select System32
Right Click and Copy or Drag and drop to "E"

Run JellyBean

You will first see your "C" information.

Left Column will be the Operating System.
Right Column will be the Operating System information.

Select Tools

Select Tools and Load Hive

Select the Drive

Select the hard drive. I selected "E".

Click OK

let the Jellybean work its magic.

View Results.

Notice the Operating System

Left side "Windows 7 Ultimate"
Right side necessary information.

Print and write down the key information, store in a safe place.
