  1. I lost windows 10 activation key and my hard disk crushed


    Dear All,

    I bought a Thinkpad x260 from Europe, but I am living in Bangladesh. From Bangladesh, there is no way to contact technical support over the phone. My laptop's papers lost and only service tag no. I have. Recently my laptop's Hard Disk crushed. How can I retrieve my Windows 10 activation key? Or, how can I get my Windows 10 activated?

    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. lost windows activation key, need new free os thats just as easy as windows

    So Windows is already installed and refuses to activiate or are you not getting through the install because you don't have to key to put in the boxes?

    If you were never prompted for a key, the key is embeded in the install disk. You can retrieve the key via the registry.

    If the activation wizard is being bitchy as usual, it gives you the phone number you have to call. Call them up, explain your situation, and they'll give you what you need to make it go away.

  3. Activate windows 10 after re-installing (I have lost my product key)

    I own a Lenovo T430 laptop. In 2017, I installed Windows 10 using my original Windows 7 product key. Unfortunately, I cannot find that product key anymore. I need to re-install windows 10. Will it be automatically activated after the installation, if I skip the step of asking the product key during the installation?

    In my opinion, I believe that my laptop will have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft Activation Servers and this will not be a problem. Is that true?

    If not, please suggest me a solution or a workaround.
