Hi:

 

Ever since Windows 8 came out, Microsoft requires all PC manufacturers to put the Windows product key in the BIOS of the PC.

 

No more COA/Product key stickers.

 

You don't need the product key to reinstall W10.

 

If you would like to see the product key and the version of Windows the key is good for, you can install the Showkey Plus app from the Windows store.
