How do I find to what Windows edition is my OEM key related to?

Hello,
I have an ASUS Notebook I had for the last 8 years and of course the HDD went through many wipes.

Windows 8 came pre-installed on the Notebook, I used OemKey.exe from https://neosmart.net/OemKey/ (as mentioned here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install-insiderplat_pc/lost-windows-81-key-after-installing-windows-10/b85e2310-f722-4af7-b367-8f7b6104761f) to get the embedded key.

Using Windows 10 ISO downloaded from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO , When I get to the step where I should provide a key, Windows 10 doesn't detect the embedded one so I provide the key found by OemKey and Windows says `couldn't verify please check your install media` , so I skip by pressing `I don't have a key` and I get the list of all Windows 10 editions.

Sadly I don't remember what Windows 8 came pre-installed was it Windows 8 or Windows 8N or what edition, I only remember it was a Windows 8 64bits French language as default.

So I was wondering if there's a way to find to what Windows edition is my key related to?
