Introduction


If your Windows is activated on your PC with a genuine license key and you plan to reinstall Windows but you are unable to find your license key, you are lucky because it is stored in the Windows registry.

It is possible to run an application to obtain the Windows product key.

Many applications can reveal the Windows product key including NirSoft's Windows 8 product key viewer and ProduKey. For this guide, we will use Windows 8 product key viewer. It is a lightweight and portable application, so we can run it without having to install it.

Steps to follow

To be able to recover the Windows 10 product key,

1. Verify that your Windows is enabled by selecting Settings >> Update & Security >> Activation.

2. If your Windows is activated, download the Windows 8 product key viewer application from this link

3. Once the download is complete, run the Windows 8 product key viewer application to view your Windows 10 product key.

This shows you the license key currently used by your operating system.

Here! Now you can copy and save it so that you can re-enable Windows after reinstallation.
