Hi:

 

Your notebook's product key is encrypted in the BIOS.

 

You do not need the product key to reinstall Windows.

 

You cannot read or find the product key without running a certain Windows command or installing software that will read the product key.

 

The number you posted is not the Windows product key.

 

If you are interested in seeing the actual product key in your notebook's BIOS, you can install the free Showkey Plus app from the Microsoft Store and it will show you the Windows OEM product key in your notebook's BIOS and the version of Windows the product key is good for.
