How do I find Windows 10 product key without cmd?

A Windows 10 product key is a 25-character code used to activate the Windows operating system. It is formatted like this: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX. The product key serves as proof that you have a legitimate copy of Windows 10, and it is required to activate and validate your OS. This is why it is so important to find Windows 10 product key before reinstall or upgrade!

 

When you install or reinstall Windows 10, you are usually prompted to enter the product key. If your Windows 10 was pre-installed on your device, the product key is likely embedded in the device’s firmware (UEFI/BIOS) or provided on a sticker somewhere on your computer. If you purchased Windows 10 separately, the product key might have been provided in the packaging or sent to you via email.

You are right, the Windows 10 product key is indeed the key to activating the system. However, my own experience is that even with the product key, when reinstalling the system, Windows sometimes automatically reads the key from the BIOS, so it does not necessarily need to be entered manually every time. I reinstalled it once before, and it skipped the key input step and the system activated itself. If it is a pre-installed Windows system, the key is usually hidden in the BIOS, so you don’t have to worry about not finding it. But if you bought Windows separately, you have to look for the key in the mail or in the box. Have you encountered this situation? Or do you have other ways to find Windows 10 product key without cmd?
