Where to find the Windows 8 Product ID (PID)

Question

I need to file a support request to Microsoft, and will need my Product ID (PID) for this.

Annoyingly, the official knowledge base does not contain an answer to Windows 8 users on where to find this.

To find the PID, you need to go to your System page, which can be done by one of three ways:

Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System by copy-pasting this into the “address bar” of an Explorer window.
Press Win + X and click on Control Panel. After this, go to System.
Use the desktop Charm to go to Control Panel. Go to System afterwards.

Or do as @avirk and press Win + Break/Pause.

In here, you will find the information you need at the bottom:

Simply use Win+Pause/Break to open the System window. Then, scroll down to Windows activation and you will see the Product ID listed there.
