Retrieving your windows 11 product key is easily done using the windows registry editor. If you have a licensed version of Windows, it can be quite frustrating to not be able to find the product key when you need it. You may have purchased a new computer that comes with Windows 11 preinstalled, but the product key is not always readily available in the documentation. This can be particularly problematic when you need to reinstall or upgrade Windows on your computer. While you may be able to find the product key on a sticker on the computer or in the documentation that came with it, this is not always the case. In some instances, you may need to use this information to find the product key for the version of Windows that you are using, and it can be a lifesaver when you need to reinstall or upgrade your operating system.
We will show you how to find and store your Windows product key. This will work with several versions of Windows, including the latest Windows 11. Let's get started.
