How to Find Your Windows 11 Product Key

In today’s tutorial I’m going to show you how to find your Windows 11 product key using the command prompt application.

*To get started:*
1. Go to the Windows start bar, and type in “CMD”
2. Right click on the command prompt application, and click on the “Run as administrator” option.
3. Now that command prompt has opened, enter the following command “wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey”.
4. Your Windows 11 Product Key will now be displayed

What is a Product Key?
A product key, also known as a software key or license key, is a specific code that is used to activate and authenticate a software product. It serves as a form of copy protection and is designed to ensure that the software is used only by individuals or entities who have legally obtained the right to use it.

wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey

This command reads the key that is registered in the bios, it only works on computers and notebooks where the manufacturer already provides the Windows license upon sale !!!

I get no errors. It just echoes back the "OA3Xoriginalproductkey" text then a few blank lines and then the command prompt line again
