Windows 10: Cannot activate Windows 10 Home on new PC

I recently built a new PC. I've tried activating Windows 10 Home on it to no avail. I purchased Windows 10 Home directly from the Microsoft store in 2018. Everything I've read has said I should be able to transfer the license to this new PC, but I cannot figure out how. I tried using the "hardware change" option in the activation troubleshooter, but that doesn't work. I cannot find my email with the product key to try entering it manually. I also can't seem to find a way to ask Microsoft to re-email me the key either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
