Phexx:
insane: Threw it into Photoshop, manipulated it a little, and looks to be:

CV8RW-4X847-28D6X-8CDB7-Q2TVK
or
CV8RW-4X84Y-28D6X-8CDB7-Q2TVK

If you had a better picture taken in RAW I might be more confident but I think I might be OK as it is.

Thanks for that!
The laptop isn't actually mine so I'll get a hold of it tomorrow and can upload a raw picture if you'd like.
Cheers

I tried to validate those using an online checker here , and the good news is that no one will be stealing your key as they are both incorrect :)

But happy to give a better photo a try, I feel like I'm getting so close!

Thanks guy for the help!
Unfortunately none of the keys submitted so far have been successful.

Here is a link to a raw image that I have take, it's the best I can do in the light.

Here's a link to that image with a little bit of amateur post from myself.

I'm still trying myself.
Again, thanks!

I tried but gave up.

Either the checker is faulting or i cant get the code.

Tip: Whenever you get a laptop, write the code on a sticker and put it under the battery.

If the battery is not removable, put it under the screen, or on the sd/express card hole filler

Maybe that checker doesn't like OEM keys. Here are the six options that I see in there:

CVRKW-4XB4(7/Y)-28DGX-N8D(8/R/B)7-Q2TVK

can you do it with ISO 100 or the lowest you can possible go?

the best I can come up with is
CV(Y/other)(8/B/R)R(K)W 4XB4Y(V)-28DGX- (W/other)8(6)DR7 - Q2TY(V)K

from that I get CVRKW-4XB4Y-28DGX-B8DR7-Q2TVK

do be certain that you have an oem install otherwise these key suggestions will never work. You could test it by entering a retail key from a google search

It seems like the install is a retail one.
The product key is 00359-112-00...........
112 should be OEM on an oem copy?
