Windows 10: Lost Windows 10 product key from windows Vista upgrade

Hi all,


My old PC was a windows Vista PC. I had upgraded the windows edition to 10. My old PC packed in over a year ago and I have just built a new PC.


I would like to use my old Windows 10 product key on this computer as my old one is no longer working. The windows Vista key from the old tower doesn't work - I'm assuming the upgrade gave me a new key.


Is there a way I can get my old product key? I've checked all of my email accounts and can't find an email with a product code....


Thankyou.

:)

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

Now that I have finally upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 will my Windows 8 key work with a fresh install of Windows 10?
