I have an Aspire TC 780A. The hard drive is dying. Where is the Window product key located on or inside the tower?

I will need to reinstall Windows.

    It should be imbedded on the board if your unit came with windows, if not on the label that has the serial number. The installation will find it, if imbedded on the board.

    Congratulations: But I think that if not imbedded that it is on a label on the bottom of the computer unit.

    if your pc was already registered with Microsoft windows will automatically activate again the first time you connect to the internet after reinstalling , so no need for keys anymore
