Recover 10 key from corrupted hard drive
My aunt upgraded her 5 year old Win 7 desktop to Win 10. The PC ran well until this morning when she got errors upon boot (Preparing automatic repair, diagnosing your PC) After we tried and failed to get anything in the troubleshooter to 'repair' it (even the reset that would save personal files failed) I pulled the drive from her PC and am using a USB to SATA adapter to manually copy what I can to my Win 7 Pro machine. (saving pictures, documents, etc)
Some files (less than 1%) won't copy due to various read errors, but I am getting most copied over. Is there a way to recover the product key from the files on the system so when I re-install 10 on a new drive for her PC, I can activate it with the key she had on the old drive? Thanks in advance.
