Product: HP Laptop 17
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello
 I am unable to activate windows.

I get the troubleshooting screen and nothing, Server unavailable.
  I don't see a product key anywhere in the box or on the system itself.

Is there a way to get the product keey off the system?? 

   Thanks in advance

Hi:

 

Install the free showkey plus app from the Microsoft store so you can see the OEM product key in the BIOS.

 

Get ShowKeyPlus - Microsoft Store

 

See if you can activate W10 by changing the 'Installed key' to the OEM key from the report.

 

You can change the product key by going to Settings>Update & Security>Activation>Change Product Key
