Having lost your Windows or MS Office serial number, serious problems can occur when reinstalling the system. In order not to pay for the purchase of expensive software, you can "spy" the serial numbers of the installed operating system and office suite from Microsoft.
Instructions
Step 1
You won't be able to see the serial numbers using Windows tools, so you have to download a small free program that will help you find them. This is the ProduKey program, which can be downloaded from the developer site www.nirsoft.net by link https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html. The program is free, works with all versions of Windows, and is not overloaded with anything superfluous - only information about serial numbers
Step 2
After downloading and installing the program, run it. In the window that opens, you will immediately be provided with information on all serial numbers of software from Microsoft. To avoid rewriting the numbers by hand, on the Edit menu, choose Copy Product Key to copy the highlighted serial number, and then paste it into a text file or Word document for printing later.
