Please note.

This is not my work but I figured some people might find it useful.

Most modern desktop and laptop comes with Windows 8 or 10 keys embedded in BIOS. Thinkpad, Dell, and many other BIOS vendors expose these keys to Linux, too, along with tons of data. So one can find and retrieve Windows 10/11 or Windows 8 key using Linux. The key helps to activate the Windows version without any input from users.

One trick I've found handy is also using a simple command prompt. Just open Command Prompt as an administrator and type in "wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey". Voila! Your key should pop up.

Did you notice that this topic dates back to 2022?

Generally, there's no need to revive such old topics.

But thanks for your suggestion
