    As I've said, if the OP has a retail key, it's fine.
    I did say in post #3 that I built my own machine. No OEM PC has been used by me since that first one in 1992.

    Not sure I still have the Windows 7 packaging (believe it came in a little orange cardboard folder), so I'll have to look for it.

    If it's still possible to run things on that PC, you can use the Showkeyplus utility available on this forum.

    Oh, now you're just asking me to steal 10 or 12 more minutes of your precious time. I didn't take any photos, but I did shoot a crappy video.
