so i'm dumb and don't have any of the junk i got with my laptop (left it in my ex's house) and don't know what the product key for word is and it's gone all funky & won't let me use all the functions. plus the 18 click long popup i get when i open word is kind of annoying.

so my housemate says you can get product key finder and that all this info is on my laptop, i just need to find it. does anyone know what said program might be and where i might get one? that is legit and won't kill my computer cause i need to do a cv.

any help would be much appreciated!

edit: i should also say that any time i try to click the 'help i'm a spa' thing, it just freezes up on me

Yup MagicJellybean Keyfinder exe

Run it. It will display loads of MS keys

yay!

so i ran it and it only found one key - for vista, so i assume that is not the one i need?

if office was already installed on my laptop does that mean it was just a trial version?

i know i am being really dense but i literally never use office products at home

is there any other way to get a product key without having to pay for one? i hate paying for stuff heh
