    Hi @blindfaith101 The key is not visible because it is a digital activation that links the computer to the license on Microsoft's activation servers, but it is not necessary either.
    What do you need it for?

    What model is yours and what is the version of Windows?


    Regards.

    The Windows activation key is stored in the BIOS on the motherboard, so you don't need to access it. In most SKUs, if not all, there is no activation key for Microsoft Office, since activating that requires you first purchase either a desktop license or an Office 365 license.
