I have an HP Pavilion DV6 laptop which came preinstalled with Windows 7, however, the laptop got its hard drive formatted a couple of time and so the HP recovery partition got removed. The laptop's under case was replaced so the sticker got lost. I have no disks such as Windows 7 OEM or HP Recovery disk.
Is there anyway I can get my Windows 7 product key back? I know Windows 8 and up have the product key hard coded in the BIOS/MOBO, but I don't think that's the case with Windows 7, is it?
I have tried using a couple of "Key recovery" tools such as Jellybean's, but it didn't work.
My laptop's warranty has expired so I can't order an HP Recovery Disk for my laptop model.
I am able to get the serial number of my laptop using CMD, this is all I got.
