Get-keys.bat ◎

The script often attempts to backup the registry hives where local password hashes are stored.

reg save HKLM\SAM sam.bak
reg save HKLM\SYSTEM system.bak

Never download random get-keys.bat files from the internet — they could contain malware. Always inspect or write your own script, or use trusted portable tools.

Would you like a version of get-keys.bat that only outputs the Windows key (without VBS or Office scanning)?

If you don’t trust batch scripts, use well-known portable tools: get-keys.bat

Here’s a safe, non-malicious version you can save as get-keys.bat:

Picture this scenario: Your computer is running Windows 10 perfectly. You never had to enter a product key because it came pre-installed (OEM license embedded in the BIOS). Suddenly, your hard drive crashes. You replace it and attempt to reinstall Windows. The installer asks for a 25-character product key. The sticker on your PC has faded to a blank yellow square. What do you do? Never download random get-keys

Before get-keys.bat, you would call the manufacturer or buy a new license. With get-keys.bat, you simply run the script, and it retrieves the OEM key from your motherboard’s firmware.
