Hi:

I am assuming you are referring to the Windows 10 product key?

If so, the product key is now located in the BIOS chip, and that is where they have been placed since W8 came out.

No more product key stickers.

The nice thing about that is that you can reinstall W10 without knowing what the product key is.

W10 will pick up the key in the BIOS, install and automatically activate once your PC is reconnected to the internet.

If for some reason, you would like to know what the product key is, I have zipped up and attached a free utility below, that you can run, which will provide a readout of the product key, that you can save as a text file and print if you want.
