Hi,

 

Unfortunately, you will not be able to retrieve your original Product Activation key - neither Microsoft or HP will have any record of this.  However, if you need to reinstall the original operating system on a HP notebook, using the Recovery Discs or Recovery Partition will not require this as the OS will activate automatically.

 

Regards,
