It sounds as if you are looking for something related to an encrypted drive. You don't seem to be using BitLocker, because the BitLocker recovery key should be a 48 characters, not 8.
Are you really looking for a "faq" -- a list of frequently asked questions?
Perhaps you could explain your difficulties a bit more clearly and specifically.
A Product I.D. does not help to recover a Product Key.
You have to find it yourself.
Is it a Retail, OEM System Builders or OEM preinstalled (Dell, HP, etc.) license and is it still activated?
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
The Product Key consists of 25 digits, divided into 5 groups of 5 digits and the layout looks like this:
xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
The 24 used are:
2346789BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY
The 12 unused are:
015AEILNOSUZ
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
If installed and activated and a Retail or OEM system Builders license and you have lost the product key that came with the purchase use these free programs:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
If you bought it from Microsoft:
Find your downloads and product keys
Most software you buy directly from Microsoft Store as a digital download, like Office, Windows, and Xbox games, can be downloaded, installed, or reinstalled in order history. Find the software and then select Product key/Install*.*
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
If OEM preinstalled (Dell, HP, etc.) license:
The COA sticker, which has the Product Key on it, is either on the underside of the Laptop or in the Battery Compartment.
With a Desktop it is either on the side, rear or top of the Computer Case.
Product Key finder programs do NOT find a useable product key on OEM preinstalled operating systems (Dell, HP, etc.)
Key Finder Programs used on preinstalled Operating Systems only find the Manufacturer's Product Key which was used on multiple machines during manufacture and what they find is not suitable to use for a reinstall or activation problems.
