Hi Szymek2088
One license one system

a) it may be possible the OEM key is embedded in the system BIOS of the laptop which may register upon a clean installation of eitehr O/S. If you went withthe reload OF THE SAME PRODUCT VERSION as was shipped on your laptop, the registration should occur automatically

 

b) If you opted for another prodcut version that is an upgrade, if may pick up your key (from BIOS) as part of the upgrade process

 

c) If you can get the O/S to boot, even in 'safe mode' so you can get to a CMD prompt, you can run CMD as an administrator and enter the command:

wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey

which will display the OEM key so you can keep for your records.

Good Morning Szymek2088 !

Windows license keys on devices are OEM and are linked to this device only and cannot be used on any other device.

The key is stored in Bios and cannot be removed.
To identify, simply use some application, such as Produkey:
