  1. Is my Windows product key still usuable after failing to install OS


    My computer stalled and I was forced to turn off my computer midway through installing Windows 10, which inturn ended up rendering my hard drive unusable. I had entered the product key I purchased from the Microsoft website before said crash. I've bought another drive to install the OS on but my question is is the key I already purchased still usable even if the installation never finalized or will I need to purchase another?Thanks in advanced,AV

    :)

  2. Windows Product Key

    A friend of mine has an all-in-one that came with Windows 8 pre-installed. He erased the original OS thinking he could install another version of Windows 8. One thing he encountered, that he didn't expect, the BIOS/UEFI has a password. So, basically he is locked out from installing another OS. His BIOS has the product key nestled inside. Is it possible to find out which version the product key belong to?
