Product: HP Pavillion Desktop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I just purchased a new HP Pavillion Desktop computer.  Usually, the Windows product key # is a sticker on the side of the computer.  I cannot find any information on it.

 

Where can I find this info since they no longer give you disks, and now, no sticker with info on it?

 

Thx!

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

 

OEMs stopped printing product keys on stickers with the advent of Windows 8.

 

Since then, the product key has been embedded into the UEFI firmware of the motherboard.  You can retrieve it using this tool:  http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/2577-showkey.html

Good Luck
