This Windows license was printed directly on the CD, something that surely you will have noticed that it no longer happens and that in fact now no one gives us a numerical license on paper, on CD or in any medium and the reason is that the license Windows 10 is now inside the BIOS/UEFI of your computer.

That the license is inside the system BIOS/UEFI means that when we reinstall Windows 10, the operating system itself checks that section to see if it can be activated with that code, without having to intervene the user, so in many cases the activation is totally automatic without having to put this code, but sometimes it fails and we have the operating system left unactivated, so we must try to extract that key.
