Product: HP Laptop - 15-ef1072nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
Need Windows Activation Key. We bought this laptop years ago and have since lost the paperwork with the original key. I have tried to used cmd and powershell to recover the key. But this does not work.

The product specs for the model indicate that it comes with W10 Home, which means that there should be a W10 Home product key encrypted in the BIOS.

Download and install the free Showkey Plus app from the Microsoft Store and it should provide a report of the product key.
