    1. First, press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.

    Another way to find your product key is to use a PowerShell command. This method is similar to
    the first one, but we will be using a different command.

    The PowerShell is a powerful scripting language that comes pre-installed on all Windows
    computers.

    To find your product key using PowerShell:

    1. Open the PowerShell by pressing the Windows + R keys and typing in "powershell". Hit
    enter to open it.

    2. Alternatively, open PowerShell by pressing the Windows + X keys on your keyboard and
    selecting "PowerShell" from the menu.

    3. Once PowerShell is open, paste in the following command and hit enter:

    powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from


    SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey"

    4. Now, your product key should appear. Note it down and keep it in a safe place.

    Method 3. Find Your Product Key in the


    Registry

    The third method is to use the Registry Editor. This is a more advanced method, and we only
    recommend doing this if you are comfortable working with the Windows Registry. Be sure to back
    up the registry before making any changes.

    To find your product key in the Registry:

    1. Press Windows + R keys to bring up the Run dialog box. To open the Registry Editor with
    admin access, type 'regedit' and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

    2. Use the navigation pane on the left side of the window to reach the following Registry key, or
    use the address bar and copy-paste the location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
    NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

    3. Look for the BackupProductKeyDefault key in the right-side pane. It should display your
    product key in the Data column.

    Make sure to note down your product key and keep it in a safe place!

    Method 4. Use a Third-Party Key Finder


    Tool

    There are many third-party key finder tools available that can find your product key. We
    recommend using one of these tools if you are having trouble finding your product key using the
    methods above.

    These tools are easy to use and will display your product key in just a few seconds.

    Be sure to download a reputable key finder tool from a trusted website. We recommend using
    the KeyFinder from Magical Jelly Bean.

    Once you have downloaded and installed a key finder tool, launch it and select "Windows" from
    the list of supported operating systems. The product key finder will scan your system and display
    your product key. Note it down and keep it in a safe place!
