Windows 10: How do I find my Windows 11 Product Key for online purchase?

My Windows 11 installation became corrupt due to a hardware problem. I've fixed the hardware problem and now I'm trying to reinstall Windows 11, but I need the product key. I purchased Windows 11 from Microsoft online on December 21, 2021, and online help says I should look up my order. I can find my order on the Microsoft site, but there is no product key in the order information. I don't have the original email because I lost all of my Outlook files due the hardware problem.I tried contacting Microsoft's online support, but it's not working today. Any suggestions?Thanks.

Windows 11 Product Key Location

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble finding your Windows 11 product key. If you purchased Windows 11 from the Microsoft Store, the product key should be included in the confirmation email that you received after making the purchase. If you can't find the email, please check your spam or junk folder.



If you still can't find the product key, you can try signing in to your Microsoft account and checking your order history. The product key should be listed there as well.
