I think you mean the product key because you will need that in order to reinstall windows. It can usually be found on a sticker that is on your case. Look around the case (especially the back) for a sticker with lots of numbers and microsoft on it.

The installation key can be found by decrypting the registry entry. this is difficult. use a third party program such as the 'Magic Jellybean Keyfinder'. Search for it on google.
