Product: HP Notebook bs-146 tu
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

This is with regard to the above.

I recently got my Hard disk and Motherboard replaced.

I clean installed the OS in my new SSD, now I need to activate it.

Under which folder in my old hard disk would I find my Windows Product key?

Will appreciate a reply.

Regards
