How to find Product Key on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1?

Suppose if you are planning to reinstall Windows operating system for example, but you do not know or remember the Product key to activate Windows after installation is complete and you can not activate the newly installed operating system. In this case you do not need to worry too much because the Product Key is stored in the Registry.
In the previous article we showed you how to find the product key on Windows 10 product key, the article below will guide you how to find Product key on Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.
I. Find the Windows 8 Product Key on the Registry
To view the Windows 8 Product key on the Registry, follow these steps:
1. Press the Windows + R key combination to open the Run command.
2. Next enter Regedit and then press Enter or click OK to open the Registry Editor.
3. On the Registry Editor window, navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion
Right-click on Key Product, choose Modify.
Now on the serial number display, it's the Product key on your Windows 8 machine. Click Cancel to not change the value.
II. Find product key from Microsoft
If you have applied the above method but still can not help you, then you will have to ask Microsoft to provide the product key instead. To do this you first have to know for sure what version of Windows you are using. Is that a Windows OEM version? If so, you can call the support of your computer manufacturer.
If the vendor can not solve your problem, then you can ask for Microsoft support and ask them to provide a new product key for your Windows 8 machine.
The next step is to activate the new Product key on the Command Prompt:
1. Open the Command Prompt window under Admin.
2. To uninstall the current Product key, enter the command "slmgr / upk" in the Command Prompt window.
At this point, a message window will appear.
Next you can install the new Product key by entering the following command: slmgr / ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Note: In the preceding statement, replace XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX with the Windows 8 / 8.1 key.
A popup window will appear informing you that the new product key has been successfully installed.
Also, you can confirm by checking the refresh and check the Properties window of the system.
III. 3rd application
In addition to the above solutions, you can rely on the support of the third application to find the product key on your computer.
The third application that Network Admin mentions is the Product Key Finder.
Step 1:
Download Product Key Finder and install.
Step 2:
After installing Product Key Finder, run the application and click Start Recovery. Product Key Finder will start searching for Product key on your Windows 8 machine and Product ID as well as other license keys.
Within a few minutes you will see the Product Key and Product ID listed on the Product Key Finder window.
Step 3:
Click Save or Save to File to save the Product key on the text document.
