How to Retrieve Your Windows 11 Product Key

Here’s how you can retrieve your Windows 11 product key using Command Prompt.

Method 1: Using WMI command

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator
   (Search “cmd” > right-click > Run as administrator)
2. Enter the following command:

wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey

If a product key is stored in the BIOS/UEFI, it will be displayed.

Note:

• If this returns nothing, your Windows may have been activated via a digital license or a volume license key, in which case the product key isn’t retrievable via this method.
• For more advanced scenarios (like retrieving a retail key), you’d need third-party tools like ProduKey or ShowKeyPlus, but those are not CMD-based.
