Product: HP Pavilion 15-p028tx Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

My product came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed which activated initially on connecting to the internet for the first time. After some recent security updates Windows need to be activated again but I cant find my product key and cannot connect to an online activation service. What should I do now?

Hi:

 

Use the free utility that I zipped up and attached below that will show you the version of W8.1 the key is good for and the product key itself.
