25 digit Windows 10 Product key

Hi Patrick, thanks for posting your question in the community! My name is David, an independent advisor and I am here to help you.

If your PC came with Windows 10 Preinstalled, it is most likely that the product key is embedded in the BIOS, to extract it, please follow these steps:

* Start CMD as administrator> type the following command "wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey" without the quotes, press enter> once the command is executed you should be able to see the 25 character product key on the screen.

Let me know if the shared information has been useful or if you still need more help, I will be waiting for your response.

 

Upgraded to Windows 10 while it was free download and don't know what is the product key.
