I have a few windows product keys some for windows 7 and some for windows 10 but I just separated the keys by putting the windows 7 keys underneath the word windows 7 and the same for windows 10.
My question is how can I verify what product key is being used and what key isn't being used?
The second question is that I have a windows key that came from a clients computer that she got from an online college will I need a specific version of windows 7 to be able to activate the key if her hard drive was to ever fail?

What you could do is run ProduKey first and save the existing product key for your Windows, so that you have the key with you if your Windows gets activated with another key
Next you could just click on Change product key from the system properties and see which one's for what

If you want to check you product key on the computer do this below:
- Open Command Prompt by right clicking start button and select "Command Prompt (Admin)"
- In the command prompt, type the following command:
slmgr -dli
- Press Enter and it will reveal a partial product key

Use nirsoft ProduKey.exe to view product id and product key.
