    I had to hard reset my PC and lost my product key for Windows 10 Pro


    So my computer crashed and I couldn't get anything to work so I had to wipe it. I bought a physical usb version of Windows 10 pro quite a few years back. I still have the box the usb came in. I couldn't find any 25 character keys anywhere on it or in it, so I'm assuming it came on a slip of paper inside the box or something. I've had tried all kinds of different things to activate it and nothing is working. I've been running on an unactivated version of Windows 10 Pro now for quite a while. Thanks.

    :)

    How to recover lost Microsoft Office 2013 Product Key after Windows 10 Reset PC

    Although the Windows Lost Product Key question has been asked before, this is slightly different.
    I did 'Reset this PC' from Windows 10 Recovery without taking a backup of the system or files. All my files were safe but the Licensed Microsoft Office 2013 was removed. I have unfortunately misplaced the MS Office 2013 Student and Home product box. I have also checked with Windows Helpdesk if any of my emails are associated with the MS Office and the Microsoft Account; sadly, none are.

    I read that that the 'Reset' cleans the registry and removes the apps. I am thinking of two ways to try and find the key

    1. Use all the Free Key finders around then buy a paid one if they don't work
    2. Use Recuva or a similar tool to try and recover the deleted old Windows Registry files

    Has anyone faced a similar issue or can you think of an alternate way to try and get the Key?
