Recover original Windows 10 license from BIOS/UEFI [Tip]


In the past, when we acquired a new PC or laptop, the most normal thing was that together with the device they gave us a huge amount of documentation and CDs, both for each driver of the computer and a copy of the Windows operating system that brought the equipment installed along with Your original license.

This Windows license was printed directly on the CD, something that surely you will have noticed that it no longer happens and that in fact now no one gives us a numerical license on paper, on CD or in any medium and the reason is that the license Windows 10 is now inside the BIOS/UEFI of your computer.

That the license is inside the system BIOS/UEFI means that when we reinstall Windows 10, the operating system itself checks that section to see if it can be activated with that code, without having to intervene the user, so in many cases the activation is totally automatic without having to put this code, but sometimes it fails and we have the operating system left unactivated, so we must try to extract that key.

Obtaining our Windows 10 license from the BIOS/UEFI is very easy, since we will only have to do the following:

1) Method 1 CMD

a)
Press
tecla-r5a6a4a0de2c3b26d.png


b) Write CMD

c)
In the CMD console paste the following command and press Enter:
Code:
WMIC Path SoftwareLicensingService Get OA3xOriginalProductKey

2) Method 2 POWERSHELL

a)
Search in Programs and Files: Windows Powershell and open the console.

b) In the Powershell console paste the following command and press Enter:
Code:
powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey"

As we can see in the screenshots, these commands access the original key that is preinstalled on our computer, so if we are having activation problems, we can use that code to activate our Windows 10 and complete the validation process. original copy.


NOTE: This works for new machines purchased with the original factory pre-installed Windows 10.

Finding a key can mean you have an original license or a pirated license that works like an original, it doesn't make a difference anyway. ;)

I tried both methods on my desktop. All I got is a blank line. That means my BIOS doesn't carry it?

One doubt: I have reinstalled Windows many times, from scratch. I have changed the C: drive a couple of times. I have never had to supply a key and it was always automatically verified.

Another doubt from your answer above. You said:
Finding a key can mean you have an original license or a pirated license that works like an original, it doesn't make a difference anyway. ;)

If it's in the BIOS/UEFI, it has to be original, no? How would one encode a pirate license into BIOS?

Will try the tip on my laptop a bit later. :)

..

..
Only the original licenses are supposed to be stored in the BIOS/UEFI, perhaps the previous user installed a pre-activated version that is detected by the methods shared here.
But as we know, nothing is impossible ...
There are even viruses that are stored in the UEFI like the LoJax case.
Conclusion: If none of the methods detects a key, it is because you do not have any and you must activate Windows with one of the Medicines that you can find here in the corresponding section. :)
