Sounds like you have already stated the Repair procedure, if so you have
very few options.

1. If it is a retail version and you have proof of purchase, you can contact
Microsoft and possibly get a new PK.

2. If OEM you will need to contact the vendor that built the Computer, or
where you purchased it. It is unlikely you will be able to get a
replacement.

3. Find the PK.

4. Purchase a new copy.
