Identify the Windows License Key in BIOS?

Is it possible to determine the Windows License Key from the BIOS on a DELL Precision Laptop?

A number of these laptops were ordered with Windows 10/11 on however their configuration was erased and they were re-imaged with a Linux OS.  A number of identical laptops were then purchased but with an Linux OS preinstalled.  We need to convert one or two of these to Windows and I was wondering if it was possible to use the license from one of the laptops that came with Windows but was re imaged from Linux... I can see there are a number of ways of obtaining the license using the command prompt or PS (which I believe is pulled from the BIOS) if Windows is installed on the laptop but is there a way of capturing this information if Linux is installed?

If anyone knows if this is possible it would be much appreciated.
