Hi,

• If your Windows is pre-installed when you bought your PC or Laptop, usually the Key should be on the boxes that came with the PC or Laptop. Check also the bottom of the laptop or PC; it may have a printed sticker that has a Windows key on it.
  • But OEM License or pre-installed Windows usually do not require a key after resetting or reinstalling the PC or laptop.
• If you have bought a physical copy of Windows, the key should be found on the box.
• If you bought a digital copy license from the Official Microsoft website, there is no key; you need to sign in to your account where you bought the digital license.
