Thе installation key саn bе found bу decrypting thе registry entry. thіѕ іѕ hard. υѕе a third party program such аѕ thе ‘Magic Jellybean Keyfinder’. Search fοr іt οn google.

when u by the disk,u dont need any registry key. all u have to do is get ur disk in the system and restart,then follow screen lessons
I reflect you mean the product key because you will need that in order to reinstall windows. It can usually be found on a sticker that is on your case. Look around the case (especially the back) for a sticker with lots of numbers and microsoft on it.
there is a small tool called cd key grabber. Google it.
