Bro check it on the properties by right clicking on ThisPC icon on desktop. The second one would give you OEM if its OEM, if its not it would give you nos. You wont get the OEM information from the extracted key.

IndianMascot bro here is the solution to find the details about an OS. run CMD as administrator as in cmd paste Licensingdiag.exe -report %userprofile%\desktop\report.txt -log %userprofile%\desktop\repfiles.cab
This would create a text file on your desktop and in the text file look for <ActiveProductKeyChannel></ActiveProductKeyChannel>. This would give you your key information.. Thanks for making me learn :D
