Download Show Key Plus to get Windows license key

The great thing about ShowKeyPlus is that unlike comparable programs, this freeware tool can not only show you the currently installed, but also the original license key.

For instance, if you upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 it will also display the former license key.

So before you do a fresh install of your operating system please make sure you have your license key written down somewhere. Newer versions of Windows are able to recognise that they were installed on the computer before so not all is lost if you forgot to jot the key down. To give you an additional safeguard Microsoft allows you to tie your license key to your Microsoft account from where you can even transfer the key to a new computer. I wrote here how you can download a free Windows 10 version for trial purposes.

If you cannot enter a key right away after a fresh installation you still enjoy the full functionality of Windows 10 for about a month. During this time you can quickly search for your key. Maybe it will turn up again. Or you can search various online stores for a key which are sometimes cheaper than those you get in a brick and mortar business.
