Windows 10: How to check and get my original Windows Product or License key and other details?

My organization purchased me a laptop with Windows 10 Pro. The back of the laptop has a Microsoft hologram sticker that says WINDOWS ®10 PRO OEM SOFTWARE and has 25 alphanumeric characters, which I believe is the real product key. I checked my Windows details at the below locations: 1. The Settings page says it's a Windows 11 Enterprise and Windows is activated with a digital license. 2. When I try to get the product key using wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey, it returns OA3xOriginalProductKey only. Why is it like this? What are the other possible ways to know ev

Check Whether The Product Key Is Original Or Not.

Hi Justin,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We cannot tell whether your Windows License is original or fake. For information about how to tell if your copy of Windows is genuine Microsoft software, you may refer
How to tell page.



A Genuine Microsoft Label (GML) should be found on new devices that:

• Have been preinstalled with or licensed for Pro editions of Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.
  
• Have been preinstalled with or licensed for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 shipping into China (with the exception of Hong Kong and Macau).
  
• Are licensed for a Windows Pro product, but have been pre-installed with a Windows 7 Professional downgrade. These devices are licensed for Windows 8 Pro but not pre-installed with Windows 8 Pro. These devices would include a GML.
  

The GML label is used to help users identify the edition of Windows preinstalled on a device and is also an indicator of whether the device is preinstalled with or licensed for genuine Windows. Most commonly the label is found on the back or bottom
of the device.



If you're having a problem with activation, see Activation in Windows 10.



If you're getting an activation error, see Get help with Windows activation
errors.



If your product key is scratched, blurred, or otherwise unusable, contact the retailer who sold you the product. If you aren’t able to get help from your retailer or have already tried and couldn't get a working key, I suggest you to
Contact Microsoft Support and they will assist you with this issue.



Also, I suggest you to please don’t share your Windows Product Key anywhere in Microsoft Community Forums.

 

Digital license & product key details

• Hi, I'm running Windows 10 already and received an upgrade notification from Microsoft but can't install it because I don't have the Product Key or Digital Licence details

 

License Key Check

The only way to tell is to install and see if you can activate with them.

There are MSDN Windows 7 Retail licenses but they are not to be sold and they do get picked up by Microsoft.

There is no list kept of product keys.

I advise anyone wanting to buy 7:

Warning:

You do not buy a Product Key by itself, as they are normally stolen/pirated, Volume Licenses which are not for private use, or MSDN keys which are not to be sold by the original subscription holder.

Make sure that you buy the complete sealed package (DVD, license)
