Contact Acer Services in your country and they will advise what to do, probably bringing your laptop to reset the system to factory defaults and reinstall OEM Windows8 for a small service fee. If you registered your laptop with Acer and Microsoft, you may be able to get the key using your e-mail address although that did not start till 2015 with Windows10.

Hi @Subhankar_j what is your exact model and what is the version of Windows installed at the factory?
Do I change the factory version later?

All the best.

What Acer model is it? What OS was originally installed? In 2014 is was likely Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 and the product key is embedded in the BIOS for W8 and later OSes, so no sticker needed.
