The tool is completely free to download and install. Once installed, open the application and select “Find Product Key.” Enter the serial number of your PC into the text box and press enter. The program will scan your computer and display the product key.

Method 6: Live Chat from Microsoft

Microsoft offers a free online support service called Live Chat. This feature allows customers to connect with a customer service agent 24/7. After signing up, you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to start chatting. Once you’re logged into the system, you’ll see a “Start Chatting” button near the bottom left corner of the screen. Clicking on this button opens a window where you can type in your question. A representative will respond within minutes.

You can also call the number listed on the bottom of the screen. But keep in mind that you won’t be able to talk to a real person, you’ll be routed to a voice menu.
