Hello,
I was previously on Windows 7 and then I upgraded to Windows 10 for free in 2019, I believe (I can't remember why or how since I didn't perform the upgrade myself). I would like to format my PC, so I'm looking for my Windows 10 license key, but I can't find it anywhere.
If you could help me, I would be grateful.
Thank you in advance.
PS: with Windows+R/cmd/wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey nothing shows up where the key should be displayed.
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 84.0.4147.105

Hi
You don't need it, your PC is now recognized by the activation servers
At the time of reinstallation, you will click on "I don't have a product key" and the installation will proceed
Windows will be automatically reactivated as soon as an Internet connection is established
It has nothing to do with a Microsoft account, which may be useful for recovering the license in case of hardware changes
Hello
you have an electronic key installed by Microsoft that validates Win10 as an heir to the Win7 key
an upgrade from 7 to 10 does not entitle you to a free license

At least take the time to respond!
A thank you is appreciated.
Mark as resolved if your problem has been solved. I use the informal "you" with everyone.

Hello,
It is possible to retrieve your Windows license key using a very easy-to-set-up script. To begin, open Notepad and copy the following script:
Then save the text document by going to File > Save As and name it by adding the .vbs extension (e.g., Windows License.vbs). In "Type," set it to All Files.
Once saved, open the file. A dialog box will then appear with your Windows license key.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
MsgBox ConvertToKey(WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId"))
Function ConvertToKey(Key)
Const KeyOffset = 52
i = 28
Chars = "BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789"
Do
Cur = 0
x = 14
Do
Cur = Cur * 256
Cur = Key(x + KeyOffset) + Cur
Key(x + KeyOffset) = (Cur \ 24) And 255s
Cur = Cur Mod 24
x = x -1
Loop While x >= 0
i = i -1
KeyOutput = Mid(Chars, Cur + 1, 1) & KeyOutput
If (((29 - i) Mod 6) = 0) And (i <> -1) Then
i = i -1
KeyOutput = "-" & KeyOutput
End If
Loop While i >= 0
ConvertToKey = KeyOutput
End Function Then save the text document by going to File > Save As and name it by adding the .vbs extension (e.g., Windows License.vbs). In "Type," set it to All Files.
Once saved, open the file. A dialog box will then appear with your Windows license key.
Hello,
No activation key is needed to upgrade to Windows 10.
Normally with Windows 7, the activation key is located underneath the computer.
Ps:
sometimes you need to remove the battery to find it.
