Hi:

 

If your PC came with Windows 8 or newer from HP, the product key is encrypted in your PC's BIOS.

 

You shouldn't have needed the key if your PC came with W10 and you installed W10.

 

You can view the product key in your PC's BIOS by installing the free Showkey Plus app from the Microsoft Store.
