Hi:

 

If your PC came with Windows from HP, the product key is encrypted in your PC's BIOS.

 

You don't need the product key to reinstall Windows.

 

During the installation process, Windows will automatically detect the product key, install and then activate after you are connected to the internet.

 

If you currently have Windows installed now, you can download and install the free Showkey Plus app from the Microsoft Store and it will show you the Windows product key in your PC's BIOS.
