Hi

 

KeyFinderInstaller may help....
https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/

Doing research, and none of the methods are mine, I have 3 lines of code that will list the same value for your Windows 10 Product Key…

W10 Using cmd.exe as an Administrator (copy and paste the code after the >).

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.376]
C:\WINDOWS\system32>wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey
OA3xOriginalProductKey
AAAAA-BBBBB-ccccc-11111-a2zed


C:\WINDOWS\system32>powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey"
AAAAA-BBBBB-ccccc-11111-a2zed

LINUX
Linux@Lubuntu:~$ sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM | strings | tail -n 1
AAAAA-BBBBB-ccccc-11111-a2zed

I have found that retrieving the number depends on the way it was installed???

 

Try these 2 to see if one works for you.

 

  1. Search for Windows PowerShell:

At the prompt paste:

 

(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey

 

  1. Search for Command Prompt.

 

At the prompt past:

 

wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey

 

If they do not work then you can try a GOOGLE search for: " how to find windows 10 product key "
