Hello @Rohitduabnl 

 

Welcome !

 

x86 Windows >> http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/produkey.zip

x64 Windows >> http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/produkey-x64.zip

 

Extract the archive and run the program.

 

It will open and show you the available keys it detects. Does it detect your BIOS and Windows key(s) ? Does it says Windows version ?  Take a picture of the codes and write them down. Do not post them here, just keep them for yourself.

 

 

  • If you cannot start your PC, your only option is to check if you have a COA sticker - license key sticker similar to this one

 

 

Note that Windows Vista is no longer supported. If you continue using it, your PC is exposed on security risks, you data may be at risk. Here is more information >> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/22882/windows-vista-end-of-support

 

Let me know how it goes or if something is not clear.
