Quick Info1.2 Build 3

In order to prevent counterfeit products, every Windows copy comes with its own, unique key. Needless to say that you need to keep it safe in case you ever need to reinstall the operating system. If you happen to lose it though, there’s the possibility to have it revealed with the help of specialized applications like Quick Info.

Can be used on the go

First of all, the application saves you a great deal of time and effort since it doesn’t take you through a setup process to ensure functionality. As such, it can be carried around on a thumb drive and used on other PC’s, but strictly for recovery purposes, and not to fall into the shameful act of stealing another product key.The application attempts to provide all needed details as soon as it’s launched. A pretty compact window shows up, with several details fields filled in. As such, you can view the owner, organization, platform which represents the Windows edition and build, version, as well as the product key and ID.

Leaves much to be desired

You can copy individual fields in case you want to save particular details, like the product ID. There’s also the option to have all details saved as a TXT file. When hovering your cursor over given fields, you gain a detailed description to help inexperience individuals figure out what all values mean.Unfortunately, there’s a major downside to the whole operation. The application stopped receiving updates some time ago, and there’s a pretty high chance that the Windows edition and version aren’t properly detected, nor the product ID, which is the topmost value field here.

To end with

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Quick Info is pretty well behind, and you’re most likely better off keeping the original key safe, rather than relying on this application. It’s not difficult to use, but the poor reading of the OS and key leave much to be desired.
