Technically, she does not have one, but is from the House of Windsor.

Elizabeth never uses a surname. Her dynasty is called the House of Windsor, but I think it would be perceived as a terrible insult to address her as Elizabeth Windsor.

Some background material from the Wikipedia article on Windsor:

By virtue of Queen Victoria's marriage to Prince Albert, son of Duke Ernst I of the small German duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Victoria's descendants were members of the ducal family of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha with the house name of Wettin. Victoria's son Edward VII and his son George V reigned as members of this house. However, high anti-German feeling among the people during World War I prompted the Royal Family to abandon all titles held under the German crown and to change German-sounding titles and house names for English-sounding versions. On 17 July, 1917, a royal proclamation by George V provided that all agnatic descendants of Queen Victoria would be members of the House of Windsor with the personal surname of Windsor. The name Windsor has a long association with English royalty through the town of Windsor and Windsor Castle.

Her family name is Windsor which was changed to Windsor when she was a child. She is married to Phillip Mountbatten, a prince of Greece and Denmark.

She has no surname; she doesn't need one because she's the Queen.

What was Queen Elizabeth's name before she was queen?

Queen Elizabeth's surname was Windsor. Her family's surname was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha until 1917 when they changed it to Windsor to sound non-German (the British people were anti-German then as it was WWI). Members of the British Royal Family do not have surnames. They are the descendants of the house of Windsor but this is not the same as holding a surname. However, as you posted this Question in the "Elizabeth I" category I assume you mean the first Queen Elizabeth. Elizabeth I was a member of the House of Tudor but, as with Elizabeth II this does not constitute a surname
