Windows 10: How can I activate 10? (I'm having issues with activation with the Media Creation Tool)

I need to upgrade from 7 to 10 due to issues I've been having. However my laptop did not come with a product key sticker so I cannot update to 10. I cannot buy a key because I don't have the money.

:)

 

About Windows 10 media creation tool

Hi Naman, yes absolutely, once your Windows is activated before the installation, a clean install with bootable installation media created with the Media Creation tool will result in a genuine and automatically activated version of Windows 10

Since you previously had Windows 10 installed and activated on that PC during the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 10 on this PC', and activation will not be an issue, your PC will
have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft Activation Servers

 

Installing Windows 10 via Media Creation Tool


Hello Chrono,

If you like, you could upgrade to Windows 10 from within the Media Creation Tool on your activated Windows 8.1 PC, and have 10 activated afterwards.
