Which version of Windows is this?

[sorcerer]

Currently got in a neighbour's Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop with various ticking and screeching sounds emanating from the drive, which has obviously gone to hard drive heaven. The Windows COA is partially worn so I don't know which flavour of Windows is meant to be on there. The 25-character licence key is readable and also a line that reads 'X13-04657' so does anyone know what the X13-04657 indicates please?

Looks like vista

Thanks Paul, but does it give you any idea which flavour and whether 32 or 64-bit?

 

[PBComputer]

I don't but would take a guess at HP X86.

as not too many x64 about then and can't really see it being Pro (unless it's from a business)

Nah, not from a business, just a personal one. Cheers my friend, thanks.

The same key works for either one. I just choose by how much ram the machine has.

If you go to partsurfer.hp.com and put in the serial number it should tell you which OS it shipped with. The OS will be one of the part numbers.
