Recovering an OEM key product

Q

Bought a 2012 Samsung laptop, it had Windows 8 pre-installed.

After a while, changed to W8 Enterprise, which I'm currently using. Wondering what happened with my old OEM Windows 8 which I'm trying to recover.

Made the mistake of not writing down the product key before changing to Enterprise so, is there any way I can recover that old key? (it isn't written anywhere on the bottom of the laptop and no documents came with it).

If your key is embedded you can use this tool to find it

If it is not you can use a 3rd party app called jellybean key finder.

For the actual OEM OS you will need to get a copy from the computer maker
