The windows key should be on a shiny microsoft sticker on the bottom of the laptop, otherwise call up the manufacturer and if they are not willing to help you ask for their supervisor or a manager and talk to someone who has some authority. - Amaan M

Call the manufacturer. It shouldn't matter that you don't have the box. http://www.everex.com/contact%20information/contact%20information.htm 866.850.8835 - G Note

The product key can only be used a limited number of times. If the same key has been activated too many times, it quits working. If it is a legitimate copy, you should be able to call Microsoft tech support for help. - neodracolith
