    C: drive broke; how to reinstall windows 10 and/or recover product key?


    Hello,I reinstalled windows from the stock hybrid drive that came with my laptop to an SSD. Unfortunately, the SSD broke without explanation, and for all intents and purposes, it is completely dead¹. If I remember correctly the hybrid drive has a windows.old file so I want to know if it is possible to re-install windows from there or at least how I can recover my windows product key. 1. Booting windows only leads to an endless "preparing automated repair" loop. I took it to a tech shop and the SSD didnt even register when they plugged into their system.

    :)

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
