Hi:

 

Run the free utility that I zipped up and attached below, and it should show you the Windows product key in the BIOS.

Thanks for your Replay....

I have tried that software earlier but its showing some product Key but i think that is not original product key because It sowing your Product Key is not activated in the settings.

Hi:

 

I guess I should have looked up the specs for your PC.

 

Your PC did not come from HP preinstalled with W10.

 

https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04919819

 

It came with FreeDOS 2.0 which means that someone had to install a Windows OS on your notebook with a key.

 

So you will have to find your own OS with a valid product key to install on your PC.
