    How do I find my Windows 10 product key?


    Hello,

    Just upgraded my laptop from Windows 10 Home edition to Windows 10 Pro.
    Process went smoothly. Nowhere in the process was I ever shown my new product key.

    I have done Google searches but seem to only find products I can download to discover my key. I rather not install a product.
    Is there a way to discover what my product key is?

    Thanks in advance

    Stu

    :)

    I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    If you buy software in Microsoft Store including Windows it will use a keyless Digital License which can reactivate from the Account if it's listed from purchase there.

    If you buy retail software anywhere else including Windows you should have a Product Key on an insert which I would back up so you don't lose it as some software may last a decade or longer.

    Retail Office or Windows that's not been preserved that's still installed can be backed up now by running a keyfinder like ProducKey:

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

    If you upgraded from MS Store, you have a digital licence. You can reinstall on same hardware at any time without a key.

    Natively it's not possible.....as you found out there are some 3rd party software that does that and does it quite well. Belarc is highly recommended. It will show you a lot, very informative piece of software.

    This will not help because OP must have been upgraded digitally, as OP never entered a key. It will only return a generic key.

    Same goes for showkeyplus.

    How do I find my Windows 10 product key?

    In a Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) run:
    slmgr /dlv

    If the partial product key shown in the results is 3V66T then your full product key is:
    VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
