PK Finder Portable

Generally speaking, commercial software solutions come with some form of protection that prevents the unauthorized copying and installation that usually takes the form of a product key or serial number. However, if you acquired the Windows copy a long time ago, then there is a fair chance that you forgot or lost it.

PK Finder Portable is a small utility designed to help you recover the serial key for the OS copy that you forgot or are unable to access due to various reasons, such as losing the physical storage box, for instance.

Since the application is portable, the setup is a quick and uneventful operation that entails decompressing the archive in any desired location on your hard drive. Upon launch, you are welcomed by a sleek and stylish interface that is also intuitive and unlikely to give you any challenges.

It is necessary to point out that your hard disk needs to be functional and readable in order to retrieve the information. Moreover, you need to have a genuine copy of Windows installed on your computer. In other words, if you need to recover the serial key from a non-readable storage device, then you need to use other third-party software solutions.

The application automatically scans your system and displays the current version of Windows along with the corresponding product ID in a matter of seconds. Once recovered, you can copy the serial key to clipboard or export it to a TXT file by accessing the Save function from the File menu.

As you probably hinted, you can copy the ID to a document or clipboard that you are storing on a Flash stick or other similar device, an option that is both convenient and that can save you time with the new installation.

Regardless of how you lost the serial key for your Windows copy, PK Finder Portable is a lightweight application that can lend you a hand with retrieving it without too much hassle.
