System restore Q.

Hey guys
So I want to do a system restore on my laptop. It's slow and I've done most things (defrag, c cleaner etc). Buttttt the one thing that is holding me back, is I don't want to have to use up another license of Microsoft Office. Is there anyway I can back that up? Or deregister my edition so it doesn't use up a license? Does that make sense?

If you haven't lost it I think you can just use the same one again, if it's the same computer. At worst you'll have to make a call.
goto http://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisorinstaller.exe
It will download a program that will run a scan of your system. When it is finished it will display a webpage with your system information on. On the left hand side there are some options, one of them is "Software Licences". Click on that and it will display all the software you have installed that requires a product key. Copy it and print it out.
Turns out I don't have a system restore point before 2014. I vaguely remember making disks when I got the laptop, but 4 house moves later I have no idea where they could be.
At least for Vista and 7. Never tried 8, and XP and earlier versions aren't supported any more.
