    Help me get my Windows 10 back after replacing my corrupt Hard Disk.


    So a month ago I had to change my corrupt hard disk, I went to a service center to get it replaced, But after replacing it they said they couldnt renew my Windows 10 and installed a pirated version of it. Now I want my Windows 10 back. I bought the laptop on amazon, It came with a pre installed Windows 10 and I dont have a Windows installation disk with me. Is there any way I could get my Windows back?

    :)

    Replacing the hard disk

    Hi,

    If you are replacing the hard disk, you can still reinstall Windows 10 by performing a direct clean install using the media creation tool.

    For more information on how to perform a clean install. Refer to the Use installation media to reinstall Windows 10
    section on this article.

    Note: Performing a clean install will remove all your personal files, drivers you installed, apps, customizations from your PC manufacturer, and changes you made to settings so we suggest that you back up all your important
    and personal files.


    While performing a clean install, your product key should automatically retrieved from the system but, in case you are still prompted for a product key during the installation, get the product key in advance (before doing a clean install) by following the
    steps below:

    • Press Windows key + S.
    • Type Command Prompt.
    • In the list of results, right-click on Command Prompt and select
      Run as administrator.
    • Enter the administrator credentials if prompted.
    • In Command Prompt window, type this command:

      wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
    • Press Enter.
    • The product key will be revealed. Copy or write it on a paper.

    Also, we recommend contacting the device manufacturer for more information if your SSD is compatible with your laptop.

    Merry Christmas and feel free to post back if you have other concerns.

    Replacing windows 10 home hard disk with SSD

    Hi! I have an HP Envy x360 m6-aq105dx convertible laptop that I bought from Best Buy. I'd like to replace the slow hard disk with an SSD, but I don't have the Windows 10 Product key to create an installable USB flash drive. It looks like there may be some
    non-trivial ways to recover a product ID from the BIOS, but I was wondering if it would be easier to create a Recovery disk on a USB flash drive and install from it after I replace the hard disk with the SSD. Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

    hard disk D won't defragment

    Hi,





    File corruption is one of the reasons why you are having challenges defragmenting your hard disk. Before we proceed, we need you to answer the following questions:



    • Are you defragmenting an internal drive or an external drive?
    • Are you using the Windows defragmenter to defrag your hard disk, or is it a third party software?


    In the meantime, you can run the System File Checker tool. This will helps use scan and restore corrupted files. Here’s an
    article that will walk you through the steps on how to run the System
    File Checker tool, how to view details of the System File Checker process, and how to manually replace corrupted system files.



    We will be waiting for your response.
