That is not a product key for windows.

I assume you want a product key.

 

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. If your system is less than 5 years old you should be able to go here and install factory OS.

Example of Omen 30L motherboard that never had an OS. Note that there is no OEM key in the firmware and the license is retail. The motherboard was replaced and had to be reactivated with the purchased key (the installed one)
