After installing Windows on a computer, it needs to be activated. Most new PCs are already preinstalled with Windows 10.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals or organizations that want to use Windows need some type of product key or digital license. A product key consists of 25 alphanumeric characters. This code is needed to activate and unlock the full features of Windows. It also prevents a license from being used on more PCs than the purchase agreement allows.<\/p>\n<p>In some instances, you may need to find your product key or verify its integrity. This guide provides the low-down on how to do so.<\/p>\n<h2>How to find out whether you have a Windows 10 product key<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no enjoying the full features of Windows 10 without a legit product key. These days, that means you must have a digital license. Moreover, this license must be verified by the Microsoft servers.<\/p>\n<p>There can be occasions when you&#8217;re confused about your product key or digital license. You&#8217;d want to know whether you indeed have one or if it&#8217;s time to shop for a new product key.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft makes the process of checking very easy for you. You don&#8217;t need to apply complicated workarounds to check your activation status. Simply follow the steps here to discover your product key status:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Settings. You can use the Win + I shortcut or just select Settings from the Start menu.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to Update &amp; Security &gt; Activation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find your activation status here. This tells you whether or not you have a product key.<\/p>\n<p>You will get one of three activation status messages. Each one tells you something regarding your activation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Windows is activated <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you see this message, it means that your OS is activated. Moreover, you have likely activated it using a product key. Thus, you have a product key. You just have to find it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Windows is activated with a digital license <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This message also confirms that your OS is activated. But in this case, you have a digital license rather than a product key. This means there&#8217;s nothing to find since the license is linked to your PC\u2019s hardware. You just need to connect your computer with the Microsoft account used to acquire the digital license.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the highest activation tier. If you get this message, then you&#8217;re all set. There&#8217;s nothing else to do, find, or worry about.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Windows is not activated <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As it says, your OS isn&#8217;t activated. But this doesn&#8217;t always mean you don&#8217;t have a product key. You might have one, but your PC hasn&#8217;t been activated with it. Perhaps the activation process went wrong or you entered an incorrect product key.<\/p>\n<h2>How to find your Windows 10 product key<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no single place to locate your product key. If you want to view your activation key for Windows 10, how you do so depends on how you installed the firmware.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll show various scenarios and explain how to view your Windows 10 product key.<\/p>\n<h3>Your computer is preinstalled with Windows 10<\/h3>\n<p>In this case, finding the product key won&#8217;t pose any problems. You can check the device packaging or certificate of authority attached to the device.<\/p>\n<p>If those aren&#8217;t available, no worries. You can view your product key via the Command Prompt:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Hit the Windows key and type &#8220;cmd&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Below the Command Prompt in the search results, select &#8220;Run as administrator&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Click Yes on the UAC prompt.<\/li>\n<li>Now run the command below in the elevated CMD window:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Your 25-digit product key will appear on the screen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30769 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/view-windows-10-product-key-via-the-command-prompt-1024x576.png\" alt=\"View Windows product key via the Command Prompt\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/view-windows-10-product-key-via-the-command-prompt-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/view-windows-10-product-key-via-the-command-prompt-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/view-windows-10-product-key-via-the-command-prompt-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/view-windows-10-product-key-via-the-command-prompt-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/view-windows-10-product-key-via-the-command-prompt-560x315.png 560w, https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/view-windows-10-product-key-via-the-command-prompt.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>You bought a physical or digital copy of Windows 10 from an authorized retailer<\/h3>\n<p>If you bought a physical copy of Windows 10, the product key is on the card or disc enclosure.
