If your notebook came with Windows from HP, there should be a Windows product key encrypted in the BIOS.

 

Download and install the free Showkey Plus app from the Micrsoft Store.

 

ShowKeyPlus - Microsoft Apps

 

Run the app and it should show you both an 'Installed key' and a Windows OEM key and the version of Windows the key is good for.

 

If the installed key is different from the OEM key, change the installed key to the OEM product key in the PC settings menu and you should be able to activate Windows that way.

 

If your notebook came with FreeDOS, there will be no Windows OEM product key in the BIOS, and you will have to purchase a Windows product key from Microsoft.
