We sell Dell and i can tell for sure that when your order a poweredge with Windows Server you have

A Sticker with the MS productkey on it. If its a rack server than its on the top in the lower left corner
you can visit dell.com/support and after insert your ServiceTAG youre able to view the packaging and might be able to verify if the server comes with a windows or not

If you bought a ROK or a downgrade License than the productkey is printed on paper.
