How do I find my Product Key number. I had a crash the other day.?

Question

The customer service rep. said I had a major virus and he reset my computer to the original factory specifications ( I really think he didn't know s++t and did this just to get rid of me). Now when I go to open various files, Microsoft asks for my User Name, Initials,Organization, and Product Key. My computer is several years old and I don't have the original installation disc and can't find my Product Key #.

Answer 1

Are you looking for the Windows Product Key or an applications' Product key?

If you don't have the original cd's, how did the representative restore your computer to the original configuration?
