If you're in search of a tool that can quickly and reliably unlock your Windows and Office product keys, this freeware has you covered.

WinGuggle is a basic, no frills program that has only one fundamental function; to find your original product key. The program comes in a compressed file, but as soon as you open it, it is a quick click to find your product key. The main tab immediately displays product keys for the Microsoft products installed. In this same tab, users can customize the owner and organization information. The Tools tab allows you to add pertinent information as you see fit. Users can then choose to back up this information.

Any one can use this simple but effective tool, and we recommend it for any users needing to locate Microsoft product keys.

What’s new in version 2.5

Version 2.5:

Coding of dxdiag and msinfo32 functionality for Windows 10 (at least .net 2.0 is needed)
Office Product Key Recovery for future versions was added

Works - you get the Office product key - with adware!
mpxavier123January 3, 2013
Pros
It works like it says. I have windows 7 and office 2007 and it gave me the product key for office 2007.
Cons
It also gives you adware, opens up browsers on download, and adds extensions to chrome.
Summary
Works but comes with it adware.
No Frills?
markjenkNovember 12, 2012
Pros
Well it did seem to work still some testing
Cons
The no frills label CNET gave it is wrong. In this case however no frills wouldhave been better, it opened my browser to some dumb sell me stuff web site. Unlike what CNET said you don't jsut uncompress and run, you have to uncompress twice, once for the zip file and once for the unknown .exe.
Summary
Not so pleased with it.
Didn't work for me

Pros
easy to download and run
Cons
I tried this on three different PC's and it gave me the same product codes for Windows 7 and Office 2010 for all three PC's so it clearly didn't work

Now a 'Noteworthy' addition to one's tools...
DaDreamWizardFebruary 20, 2011
Pros
Product key function: perfect & automatic. Under 'Tools' tab one can easilly change / create OEM data with a picture. To easy. 'System Summary' Tab has nearly all system component areas to see what's under the hood. The third tab is sort of a pun.
Cons
The System Summary tab could prove useful, but invoking it takes a noticeable amount of time to initialize because it gets ALL the data for the 11 areas covered, not just the one or two you want to see.
Summary
The Product Key tab can show current keys. It would have been huge if it allowed changes to be made from here also. There are reasons this could be needed. Why the 'System Summary' tab / function is included with an app as this still makes no sense to me, unless one was selling a machine and wanted to get as much data about the pc as possible simply. And using it isn't quick or speedy & many other apps have this type of summary retrieval, many with lots more coverage, yet the catagories were selected wisely and 2 or 3 out of the ordinary. If you build your own machines 'Tools' is always handy. Individual apps exist to do this function alone. OEM information is just a text 'type' file with a different extension. If you understand how the data is laid out to appear formatted as it does then an app isn't needed. But these apps speed up time, do the dirty work so you can spend it creatively. All in all, I installed it & it runs fine on a 64bit Win7 machine, and It's handy to have around.

Pros
Easy access... No strain on system.. Hidden information revealed. Check out the links included for a deeper probe of your os..
Cons
None comes to mind.
Summary
Uses 21MB memory during operation.. Somewhat light. No arguments concerning functionality. Will even let you modify.. This and freeware sums up WinGuggle 1.6 as a gimme..
