Another way to find your product key is to use a PowerShell command. This method is similar to
the first one, but we will be using a different command.

The PowerShell is a powerful scripting language that comes pre-installed on all Windows
computers.

To find your product key using PowerShell:

1. Open the PowerShell by pressing the Windows + R keys and typing in "powershell". Hit
enter to open it.

2. Alternatively, open PowerShell by pressing the Windows + X keys on your keyboard and
selecting "PowerShell" from the menu.

Method 3. Find Your Product Key in the

Registry

The third method is to use the Registry Editor. This is a more advanced method, and we only
recommend doing this if you are comfortable working with the Windows Registry. Be sure to back
up the registry before making any changes.

To find your product key in the Registry:

1. Press Windows + R keys to bring up the Run dialog box. To open the Registry Editor with
admin access, type 'regedit' and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

2. Use the navigation pane on the left side of the window to reach the following Registry key, or
use the address bar and copy-paste the location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

Method 4. Use a Third-Party Key Finder

recommend using one of these tools if you are having trouble finding your product key using the
methods above.
