ProduKey is a legacy tool designed to recover the product key for a number of products, including virtually any version of Windows, Office, and many others. The tool is easy to use, and it displays the information while the operating system is running. In this guide, you’ll learn the easy steps to find the product key of your installation of Windows 10.

Generic key for Windows 10
Although the ProduKey app makes it easy to determine the Windows 10 product key on your computer, Microsoft is no longer using the legacy activation process anymore. Instead, devices now use a digital entitlement (digital license), which means that on Windows 10, you’re likely to find one of the known generic product keys:
Windows 10 Pro: VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T Windows 10 Home: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99 Windows 10 Enterprise: NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
The reason is that the new activation mechanism now creates a unique identifier number using your computer hardware configuration (motherboard, processor, memory, hard drive, etc.), allowing you to reinstall the operating system without the need to re-entering the product key.

If you have one of the generic keys, you can still find the original product key, but only if you have a device that stores the license information in the UEFI or BIOS firmware. To recover the original product key of Windows 10, use these steps: The only caveat about this command is that it retrieves the original license.
