hi

If you have a computer, originally with windows 8 or 10, you will find that there is no longer the label with the windows product key
Since windows 8 it must therefore be registered in the system..
so if you reinstall the original version, you shouldn't need to give it away
but if needed try this

Get ShowKeyPlus - Microsoft Store
