If you can read the windows registry file from your hard drive you can find and export the product key, and if the product key is for a retail(not OEM) version of Windows 7 you can download a disk image from Microsoft.

Find the software registry hive on your bad HDD located at %windir%\system32\config\software and load it up using a registry editor. I haven't done this myself, but there are some tips for doing so here https://www.raymond.cc/blog/recover-...egistry-files/

Once you can search the registry you need to find the key named HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and read the value named "DigitalProductId" and decode it using the tool at http://www.ed.scherer.name/Tools/Mic...IDDecoder.html

There are instructions on the page, but you need to change the offsets for Windows 7. Instead of grabbing the bytes at offsets 0034 through 0042 you need to get the 16 bytes at 0044 through 0052. Copy those hex bytes and use the tool on that web page to decode them and get your product key.

Once you have your key go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...nload/windows7 and input your key to download an installation ISO.

Over at my friend’s house and his oven is beeping really loud with F11 displayed on the panel. Google says it’s glue on the circuit board. I’m going back to sleep.

So anyways. 3 different offers to move elsewhere atm. This friend and his wife offered me a room and that gives me access to a better college for nursing clinicals. Another friend did the same earlier with a place in downtown Frederick and easy access to that waiting or salon job I’m considering. This would make making money easier / better (any) nightlife / further from a pretty well regarded nursing program / hospital for clinicals. Finally, two other friends want me to go to LA or Seattle with them, which would probably mean no school for a year at least... but better coast and everything. I just made irl friends with a makeup artist from LA who looks amazing in a bikini, too. Unfortunately LA is located in Los Angeles. Need advice please.

I really want to have a degree before I go to the west coast, but I’m afraid I’m gonnna get stuck here in Maryland if I wait to do that. Which wouldn’t be the end of the world because Hopkins and University of Maryland Schol of Nursing here and I wanted to do one of them for graduate school...

My advice, don't move to Seattle.
