I like this simple vbs program and also on bonus tips
to save the text file as vbs
but too bad can not attach vbs
How to view your product key in Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7
If you lost or forgot where you had stored your Windows product key, I have a solution for you. Today we will see how a simple VBS script can be used to show us the product key of an installed copy of Windows 10, Windows 8 or Windows 7. It is a simple solution to extract your product key from the OS installed on your PC without using any third party software. Here we go.
Actually, earlier I posted a
similar solution which used PowerShell. but many users complained that it fails for them. PowerShell might require additional user skills and extra tweaks to run unsigned cmdlets.
Compared to PowerShell, this VBScript solution is almost perfect. All you need to do is to just click the file. To view your Windows 10 product key
- Open Notepad.
- Copy and paste the following text into the Notepad window

- Save the text above to a file with the ".vbs" extension on the Desktop.
Bonus tip: To make sure that you saving the file correctly with the ".vbs" extension, you can type its name enclosed in double quotes, for example, "BackupWindowsKey.vbs".
- Now open your BackupWindowsKey.vbs file
- Voila, you product key is displayed on the screen!
I tested this trick on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. It works flawlessly in all mentioned operating systems.
