Windows Product Key recovery
Posted by John Farrell on 24 May 2019 02:55 PM
From this article: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install-winpc/how-to-recover-your-windows-product-key/8687ef5d-4d32-41fc-9310-158f8e5f02e3 
It is possible to recover a Windows product key from the BIOS using Powershell WMIC commands:

Enter the command below (including the brackets) into an admin PowerShell instance:
(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey 

The response will be the key stored in the BIOS or an error. Useful for OEM machines without stickers. Not so useful for refurb units.
