    Activation and Product Key


    I am trying to activate my windows 10 pro key, after doing a clean install today. It reset me back to home and I wish to upgrade back to pro. This is the error im getting. And i am positive my key works, as i have used it before. I tried to call support, but at this time of night there was a strong language barrior ad i dont believe they fully understood what i was asking.

    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.
