This has a happy ending but it's ridiculous enough and has been aggravating enough to be a #FML. My mother-in-law has an old Toshiba laptop. It never came with a re-install CD, and she never created her own recovery media. It turns out it had some version of Windows 8 where the key is installed in the firmware or something. Anyway, somehow, the hard drive was formatted. Like, secure erased.
