Windows validation automatically detects your computer... So, you do not need to worry about any product keys...
Since, you are using Genuine Windows you can just click on the validate button and download Windows Defender...
Validation just takes a few seconds and makes the program ready for you to download...
I myself validated my version of Windows and downloaded Windows Defender... It's working fine!
Good Luck...
Hope this helps...

They know automatically. You don't need to know your product key. Just follow the prompts!

If you don't have a legit copy of Windows and the WGA detects this, the FBI will kick in your door and drag you out in a black sack.
Kidding. MS will blacklist you though, so you can't download any of their halfway-useful stuff.

it will check your system on it's own. you don't need the product key or anything.
