  1. Activating Windows 10 on new hardware without a product key


    The motherboard has failed on my PC. Is it possible to activate Windows 10 Pro again after replacing the motherboard? I do not know my product key and I formatted the system disk when attempting to reinstall Windows.

    :)

    From http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/why-activate-windows-10

    If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free and ended up in a non-activated state, try following these steps:

    • Go to Start
      Activating Windows 10 on new hardware without a product key [​IMG]
      , then select Settings > Update & security > Activation.
    • Select Go to Store, and check to see if a valid license is available for your device. If a license isn't available, you'll need to buy Windows from the Store.

      Note
      • This only applies if you haven't made changes to the hardware for your device.

    or you could hack it with a crack but please note this is always risky and you don't know what's in the hack

  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.

    Activating Windows 10 on new hardware without a product key

    Win 10 activation - no product key

    Hi and thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. Please allow me to assist with your issue.

    I would suggest working with the solutions in this article:

    https://support.microsoft.com/help/20530/

    If you have activated Windows 10 with your Microsoft Account logged on prior to the hardware change, you should have a digital license. In that case, follow the steps under Reactivate Windows 10 after a hardware change > If you have a digital license, run the
    Activation troubleshooter.

    If you didn't activate Windows 10 with your Microsoft Account logged on previously, you may use the Windows 7 license key to attempt activation. Follow the steps under Reactivate Windows 10 after a hardware change > If you don't have a digital license, enter
    your product key.

    Please let me know if I can help you further!
