The question - how to find out the Windows 10 key, can arise in a lot of cases. For example, if you are just interested in the license code, if you want to transfer the activation, etc.
Today, any licensed copy of the operating system from Microsoft has its own unique key, which may indicate that Windows 10 is licensed. How can I find out where such data is stored? In each individual case, it is worth talking about the use of a different type of license acquisition confirmation.
For example, when buying a laptop in which the latest version of the OS was already installed, such data is sewn into the memory of the motherboard. This is done in cases where the manufacturer himself installs the OS. But more often a PC is purchased, which is assembled at some company. Or the parts come home separately, and the user assembles them on his own. In this case, the so-called Product Key is used for the operating system.
Here is a short list of such methods:
Using special scripts is similar to working with a regular command line. But in this case, it is enough to insert special text into a Notepad document, and then save it in .VBS format - the name itself does not matter here. Perform the rename function and then simply click on the resulting file. These steps will allow you to find out the key to Windows 10, which will simply be displayed in a separate window on the desktop.
The 64-bit "ten" has the ability to use an extended command line. And in this case, the user will be required to save the special text in Notepad, but under the .PS1 extension. Next, launch a command prompt with administrator rights and type "powershell". In the window, the command "SetExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned" is entered and "Enter" is pressed. Then specify the path to the previously saved file. In this case, you can find out the Windows 10 key in the "Installed Key" line.
For the same purposes, it is possible to use the ProduKey utility. After installation, working with it is easy. It can also be used to determine the number of any office suite from Microsoft and other software. ShowKeyPlus works on the same principle and is capable of producing similar results.
For information about the whole PC and about the license in particular, use the applications:
If you still could not find the data, and the PC persistently gives you a message that you need to go through activation, then we recommend that you either buy access again or use the activator. For example, it does an excellent job with its tasks, even if it is not an official and at the same time also an illegal way. If you know other, more beautiful solutions to this issue, then share them with us in the comments.
The easiest way, but it only works with laptops. You need to turn it upside down. And at the bottom to find either a sticker or a laser-burnt inscription. Most likely, it will be exactly with the word Windows 10, so you will quickly figure out that this is exactly the activation code. However, if you are using an old device, then there may not be such an inscription, and only numbers.
If your device is very old, then there may be a code for a different version. For example, for a seven or an eight. It's okay - since these codes are suitable for dozens. More problems arise in the case of XP, since such an old version of the OS can no longer be updated to ten, which means that its registration data will not work.
We hope that now you know how to find out the Windows 10 activation code and be able to go through all the procedures without contacting a service center. If all else fails, you can always ask for support. Either to our website - write in the comments, or to the official Microsoft support. But do the latter only if you know for sure that you purchased the license - separately from the PC, or with it. Otherwise, you may run into problems.
