The Windows product key for Windows 8 / 8.1 consumer computers is encrypted and embedded in the BIOS. You don't get into the BIOS to find it and it isn't going to be found. The Windows key on your computer will automatically populate the Windows 8 / 8.1 installation provided that the version of the key and software match. 

Please indicate if you are using the originally installed OS... you installed the Windows 8.1 upgrade from within Windows 8... you clean installed Windows 8.1 from a disc or USB flash drive... etc.

I've tried following the link that was provided and I am not finding a way to post the info that was suggested on that web page. I am running Windows 8.1 and did the upgrade from Windows 8 from within Windows on a Pavilion 20 All in One PC, 20-b010 with product number H3Y89AA#ABA. Pls help

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion 20-b010 All-in-One Desktop Computer. This model shipped with Windows 8 installed. The Windows 8 OEM key will not activate Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 Should automatically be activated during the upgrade process via the Microsoft Store.

What is the exact issue you are having??? Why do you need the Windows 8 product key??? How did you install Windows 8.1??? From where did you get Windows 8.1??? What are you trying to accomplish???

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

When I try to install Windows on an HP 19 all-in-one it will ask for a product key and as far as I'm concerned it's not automatically activated when you install it because it will constantly ask you for activation for no particular reason my dad's computer when he bought it brand-new it started doing the same **bleep** thing asking to activate Windows when when it should have been activated so I'm not understanding why buying a new computer why later on It'll ask you to activate Windows I'm not understanding why

The only way to get a product key is to call them the unfortunate part is you'll have to pay for it thy send it to your email I think which if you ask me that's just wrong to pay for a product key if you own the CD it's there way to make more money of something you already paid for
