Does anyone know how I can find my Windows product keys?

I log into the microsoft store, I can see a history of the licence purchases but nowhere does it actually show me the keys. Not sure which one is which on our family devices to know what one to use.

They must surely keep the keys for past purchases but I can't see them anywhere.

I've long used ProduKey from Nirsoft. Haven't tried it with 11. I use this to grab the key when doing a clean install. Just in case, for whatever reason, the UEFI doesn't automatically inject the key during install. Not that that is truly necessary. As long as you install the same version. The MS activation servers should recognize your hardware identifiers and activate without a key.

I totally forgot to just get the key before I stripped the old PC down which is why I ended up in this position.

Ended up just going round everyone's devices and eliminating the ones already in use.
