Hi:

 

I have zipped up and attached a free utility that will show you the product key in the BIOS.

ShowKeyPlus.zip

Will it work if windows is not operating? Can i install it on a boot disk and run it from there?

You would have to run it in a working windows environment.

 

Why not just make your own W10 installation media, and reinstall W10.  The product key in the BIOS should automatically work with the installation.

 

Use the media creation tool at the link below...
