  2. 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.

    Win10 home in S mode version 1909 product key

    In Settings, Update, Activation does it show you as being activated with a digital licence?

    If so, you do not need a product key. You can just reinstall, skip the product key step and it will reactivate automatically when you next go online.
