I was wondering if there is anyway to recover the original Windows product key that came with my laptop using the serial number to referencing the HP site. I have used a couple of other methods but, I wanted to confirm the key with HP.

Use show key plus to get the product key

Windows 11 and Windows 10: In most cases, Windows 11 and Windows 10 activates automatically using a digital license and doesn’t require you to enter a product key. Read about this here.
If you tried a windows restore / install and are asked for a key then possibly you are restoring window's "home" using the window's "pro" version. The product key will tell you what version is required.
Please provide the Product ID or Model name for better assistance. Preferably the full product ID including the characters after the # symbol. This code may be needed to find cloud recovery files.
Note that currently the Microsoft policy for Windows 10 and 11 is that it can be used indefinitely but you will have to put up with a nag screen that reminds you to activate.
