Just boot in, open a PowerShell terminal (right-click the Start button, go to PowerShell Admin), and drop in "wmic path softwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey".
If that doesn't work — as WMIC commands may be deprecated on some systems — try this PowerShell alternative: "(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey".
If neither command provides the product key, you can also retrieve it directly from the Registry. Open the Registry Editor (search for "regedit" and press Enter), then navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform. In that location, look for BackupProductKeyDefault — it should display the product key there.

You can also upgrade the SSD on this later if you want to. Solid deal here.

Have to replace the NAND chips to upgrade so not that great but better than before at least lol
Edit: Not sure why the downvotes. If you check out the disassembly videos, it does indeed show that Apple has seem to move away from soldering it directly onto the motherboard and make it easy to take apart the computer. I just bought the Mac Mini M4 as my first mac and look forward to using it (low power home server or development machine) but I'll still be happily using my Windows PCs. Of course the Mac Mini may not be right choice for everybody but it is still another choice that people can consider and I just wanted to address the past criticism that people had for older Mac Minis. It seems like Apple is taking a step in the right direction which is good for us consumers.
Add an external thunderbolt SSD drive and storage isnt an issue (Macs let you install the OS or move the user folder to an external drive)
Yes in past Mac Mini wasnt such a value proposition, but now with the M4 16gb base its quite a value at $499 edu pricing
