Default product key question

I have several W7s laying around, and have installed it on several PCs. In the process of moving I have mixed up the PCs and the W7 DVDs, so I don't know which PC has which W7 on it. I don't normally peel the product key sticker and put in in the case because I swap stuff around too much.

Is there a way to determine which W7 is on which PC (all the same version so it's not like one is Ultimate and one is Professional and one is Home).

I just know one of you gurus will have the answer.

Thanks in advance.

It matters because I will be giving away another PC or two soon, and I need to send the correct W7 DVD with each PC.

I could reinstall all of them, but it's a time consuming pain in the ass.

It really doesn't matter. Just to be on the safe side, you can just change the product key to match the disk's sticker instead of running those programs, which don't always give the correct key.

Start => Rt. click "computer" => properties.
Scroll to the bottom, click "change product key"
make sure you are connected to the internet.
