Windows product key

How can I find out the "Windows product key" in my Dell Latitude E6420? I just upgraded to Windows 10.

Thanks a lot for looking into.

You don't have a Windows 10 Product key. During the initial upgrade to Windows 10, your systems hardware is scanned and its hardware profile is submitted to a Microsoft Product Activation server. The activation server activates Windows 10 on your device which is now considered a Windows 10 Device.

During Clean Reinstallation, skip any prompts to input your product key and your device will automatically reactivate when online, see here:

Note any key finder programs will give you a generic key which is of limited use.
