Windows 10 Retrieve your Windows Product Key without extra software

This quick tutorial shows you how to retrieve your Windows product key from a working system. This is helpful in cases where your device doesn't have a sticker.

  • Open powershell (Press the Windows Key, then type powershell)
  • Type the following command

The output will be your 25 character Windows product key in the form XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

This should work on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10
 
I tried a powershell prompt, then ran the same prompt as an administrator. However, neither of them displayed my key. I'm running the most recent version of Windows 10.

It appears that Neemobeer's command works for some people, but only cursedboy's command works for others.
