"Windows.old.old" (Help requested)
Backstory: I broke my windows 7 installation awhile ago and went to linux, without deleting the broken installation. Later when I discovered windows 10 I decided to go and use it but it broke, so I again installed windows 10.
This is 3 windows installations on one partition, and I was wondering if its possible to see the backup files from my windows 7 installation. I need this so that I can get the windows product key from windows 7 because the sticker on my laptop is unreadable.
The laptop itself is the only remaining component from the purchase, from TOSHIBA. There is a HDDRECOVERY partition, but I tried to boot it and got a winload.exe error.
I want the key so that when windows 10 gets a full release I'll be able to downgrade to windows 7 > and then use the upgrade back to windows 10.
Thanks in advanced, and sorry if my question isn't clear.
EDIT 1: I should have mentioned that the linux wasn't installed to the same partition as the broken windows, I just never used the broken windows until I installed my first copy of windows 10.
