Gadgetren – Sometimes we need a product key of the Windows 10 operating system we are using. However, as the identity of the computer, we cannot simply access the product key.
The product key consists of a collection of 25 characters and becomes a unique code to activate the Windows 10 operating system. This unique code is a code specific to the Windows system where each device has a different code to indicate that the system is running is used is a legal system.
As a result, the Windows operating system product key is not displayed on some computers to protect it from piracy. As with the identity card, everyone must protect the data on their identity card so that it is not misused by others.
However, quite a few people sometimes need this unique character set to reinstall Windows 10. For example, in some cases someone needs to reinstall their laptop because they need to replace the motherboard or other critical hardware.
To find out the Windows 10 product key, every computer has a different way. It is based on the method used to install Windows 10 on their computer. If you purchased Windows 10 through an authorized reseller, you can find the Windows 10 product key on the label in the Windows box.
If you purchased Windows 10 online from the Microsoft Store, you will receive a product key from Microsoft in an email.
This is completely different on a computer that received Windows 10 from a Windows 7 or 8 upgrade, where activation takes place via a digital certificate. With this method, the user will certainly not be able to see the product key directly.
