@2g1,
Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Assuming you mean finding your Windows key, here is a link that shows you how to find it on your PC: How to View Your Windows 10 Product Key Using Script or Command-line » Winhelponline.
Personally, I like the "Script" method best.
Hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards,

Hi, @2g1
You will need to post the full model number or product number of your notebook to see if it came with Windows or FreeDOS.
A lot of those HP notebooks ending in 'nia' came with FreeDOS and don't have a Windows product key in the BIOS.
Use this guide for how to find the model number/product number of your notebook.

Hi:
15-ra0xx the entire model series.
There is a different product number you need to post for your notebook.
It looks like this for example: 5ES85EA#ABA
This is a different link for how to find that information.
