I've recently bought a unknown brand laptop called Aocwei and I'm trying to release the CDKey to reinstall Windows from scratch

I've tested all methods known:

  1. All the ideas and scripts here: Extracting Windows 10 license keys from machines

The CDKey that returns is: BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB

  1. All the Nirsoft's options, including both License Scanner and the classic one. They return a key like this: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-6MT6Y

  2. Also tried the commands for OEM firmware, both from the previous post and the microsoft answers page: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-recover-your-windows-product-key/8687ef5d-4d32-41fc-9310-158f8e5f02e3

All return nothing at all.

  1. There is no sticker anywhere in the box and the laptop case, neither even in the compartments (I've used the screwdriver to check)

  2. Also tried Show Key Plus software: No success either, it returns nothing, MAK key not available and OEM key not present in the firmware.

Don't know what else I may try. I clearly can see that the Windows 10 Pro is licensed under the Windows properties tab, but no way to extract such Product Key

Any other ideas to help me out?

There is no need for those third party apps that reveal your Win10 Product Key. It can be done natively in windows.

Try typing the following command into a CMD window:

wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey

If you continue to get BBBB returned as the result then you might be looking at a license that was applied some other way. For example, there was once an influx of eBay sellers that were selling Win10 product keys for next to nothing - using a telephone activation method illegally exploiting the licensing system. Perhaps the license you have on that machine is not a legit one.
