A relative's laptop recently died of motherboard failure. There are many other components still in good condition, including the Windows 7 installation on the still working hard disk. If I was to connect the hard drive by USB to another PC (running Windows or Linux) is it possible to use a software tool to retrieve the Windows product key? The original Certificate of Authenticity, that was on the bottom of the laptop, got destroyed/defaced by the same liquid that caused the motherboard to fail. Astronaut (talk) 10:36, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
