WINDOWS 11 activation on Asus Tuf

[BLACKPRO]

• Does all Asus tuf come with windows activated? Mine came with nothing preinstalled so I installed windows 11 home. But it is not activated. It shows "windows reported that no product key was found on your device" on settings.

Hi

Dunno.

KeyFinderInstaller may help.... https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/

Doing research, and none of the methods are mine,
I have some, simple single lines of code that will list the same value for your Windows Product Key…
Two for Windows  and one for Linux.

To find the Windows Product Key embedded by the OEM in your BIOS,
simply open a CMD windows as Administrator and issue the following command from the prompt:
(or WinKey + R and type -- cmd.exe Shift + Ctrl  -- to get the screen to open)

wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey

Run from the C:\Windows\system32 folder.

C:\windows\system32\wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey

In Windows  you can cut and paste the command into your command window.

Next is a PowerShell command, as Administrator...
(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey

but it will run within Windows using cmd.exe as an Administrator.

WinKey + R   cmd.exe   Shift + Ctrl

powershell (Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey

Last, but not least....
Linux@Lubuntu:~$ sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM | strings | tail -n 1

If in doubt please ask.

If the laptop you purchased was shipped without a pre-installed operating system (FreeDOS version), you will need to purchase and activate a genuine copy of Windows yourself. We recommend checking the package labeling or consulting your retailer to confirm whether your device includes an operating system. Thank you.
