If its a dell or gateway, the product key will be on a sticker located somewhere on your computer (usually the back). If you purchased this copy of windows yourself, then the key will be with the original packaging (either in the manual, on a certificate, or even on the disk itself)
If you are unable to locate it anywhere, this free program will find it in your computer for you: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
