have been trying to find where the product key is located. So far, I have had
no luck. Please help!

The product key will be pasted somewhere on the documentation that came
with the computer if you haven't already thrown it away? I've learned
it will usually NOT be in a logical place, for example one manufacturer
sticks the key for Office on the package for MS Works where it's often
disgarded before the owner realizes what it is...

Go sort through everything very carefully and if all else fails,
download the Belarc Advisor which will find the key for you IF the
product is installed.

On comment about using Belarc Advisor in this case is that the product
key that it will probably return is the volume key used by Dell, not
the product key that is assigned to you. Using the Dell volume key
will not work for you to reinstall.
