How do I find my windows 11 product key?
I have encountered a similar situation before. I wanted to reinstall Windows 11, but I couldn't find the product key.
I tried several complicated tutorials, and finally found Product Key Finder to be the simplest tool. It can find the key in one step and the operation is also very smooth.
If you don't want to go through complicated steps, I recommend this tool, it is quite useful.
This method is actually quite simple. Just use PowerShell to check Windows 11 product key. I have tried it several times and it can be found. However, sometimes it may not be displayed, especially if your system is activated with a digital license (the kind that is bound to a Microsoft account), it will not show you the actual key.
Steps:
- Press Windows + X, then select Windows PowerShell.
- Enter this command:
(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey
Press Enter, and then if the product key is stored in the system, it will be displayed.
Disadvantages:
If your Windows is digitally activated, this method may not work and the key cannot be found, you meybe need a Windows 11 product key finder.
Sometimes administrator privileges are required, and you have to manually open PowerShell as an administrator.
