Have you noticed that in my tutorial it is a different command, not related to PowerShell.

To find the product key and activate your windows follow the below steps :
Press Windows key + X
Click Windows PowerShell (admin)
Enter the following command:
wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
Hit Enter
The product key will be revealed.
