Often times, builders of computers, like you and me, forget or misplace our Windows product keys (you know, those 25-digit alphanumeric codes on your Windows package). When we rebuild a machine, we must use the correct product key.
Before you reformat your hard drive, make sure that you use this utility on your PC, called ProduKey, to find out the product key. Write it down or store it on a flash drive for use later when you wipe your system and reinstall Windows.
This will save you the time with Microsoft tech support, reauthorizing a known-good Windows installation.
