Where do I find the Windows 10 activation key? null

Go to settings ---> Activation ---> [Click] Troubleshoot (must be connected to internet)

I ran into the same issue after buying a brand new $1300 laptop from Best Buy. About 3 months after the purchase I would get a prompt saying windows was about to expire and I either needed to enter my product key or purchase a product key. After an hour on the phone with geek squad, they suggested that I bring it in and they might have to uninstall Windows 10 and then re-install it in hopes that would fix it. Since Microsoft no longer prints the product key on the machine it is physically on the motherboard or in the software itself. After much research, I found that if you open up your command prompt (type "cmd" on your search bar) Paste this ---> powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey") <--- It will show you internally what your Windows 10 product key is and then you can just go to the search bar and type activation settings Then enter a product key and then just type in the key you got from the command prompt and Voilà! it'll activate and you will no longer get the prompt!!!
