Product keys and digital licenses
Windows 10 and Windows 11 are often activated with a digital license linked to your hardware or your Microsoft account rather than a key you typed in. In that case the key Windows shows may be a generic one, and reinstalling on the same PC activates automatically.
Many PCs also have a Windows key stored in the firmware by the manufacturer. Foxerly Key Finder shows this key separately, because Windows uses it automatically when you reinstall on that PC.
For Office, keys are stored on the PC for one-time purchase versions. Microsoft 365 subscriptions are tied to your Microsoft account instead, so there is no key to find, and you sign in to reinstall.

Foxerly Key Finder questions
Can it find my Windows 11 product key?
Yes. It shows the key Windows is installed with and any key stored in the PC’s firmware.
Why does my key look generic?
If Windows is activated with a digital license, the installed key can be a generic one. Your license is linked to the hardware or your Microsoft account, and reinstalling on the same PC activates automatically.
Does it find Microsoft 365 keys?
Microsoft 365 is linked to your Microsoft account rather than a key on the PC. Sign in with that account to reinstall it.
Can I use a found key on another PC?
That depends on the license. Keys that came preinstalled on a PC are usually tied to that PC, while retail keys can often be moved.
Can it read keys from a PC that will not start?
Yes, with Premium. Connect its drive to a working PC and read the keys from it.
Are my keys sent anywhere?
No. Keys are read and shown on your PC only.
