How to find product key for Microsoft Office already installed
Hi,
I have an urgent issue to be fixed and really need help from community. I have Office installed and activated with a product key on my Windows 10 PC. Yesterday, I reinstalled Windows 10 as it was infected with malware.
I have to reinstall all the apps from scratch, including Microsoft Office. The problem is that I am unable to find the product key after reinstall. Not sure where stores the key any more! My question is how can I find product key for Microsoft Office on my computer?
Appreciated for your help!
AwenamI had the same issue after reinstalling Windows and couldn't find my Office key. I used Dr. Key to recover it easily, and it worked like a charm – highly recommend it!
I followed this tutorial: (worked with my office 2016)https://www.uumeo.com/find-office-product-key

If you purchased Microsoft Office as a physical product or via email, the product key is usually included on the packaging or in the confirmation email from Microsoft or the retailer. This is the easiest way to find product key for Microsoft Office already installed on a PC.
Keen sense of the obvious, here.
If the OP (or I) had the packaging or confirmation email, there's a serious chance we wouldn't even be on this thread.
I'm glad to have found it and Hammadanspo's command line.
It worked for me!
Thank you, Hammadanspo!
