Product keys are now a thing of the past when purchasing a new laptop. Your Windows license key is now stored in the BIOS of the machine and when you go to reinstall Windows fresh it will auto detect the key and activate once it connects to the internet.

While what @Dudefoxlive is saying is true, if you simply want to keep a record of your product key, you can use this utility to find  it, decode it, and store it offline:  http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html
