Windows 10: How to find out if I have a digital windows 10 license

One is a preloaded new Samsung laptop and the other is a PC that I bought the software a while back and the hard drive crashed and had outdated windows 7 but a windows tech had me download a new install that I burned to a cd but does not work anymore this was a couple years ago. I am just curious on how to show me that the laptop does have a activated windows 10 licensed so I can do the same with my PC in case it crashes again, right now I am in the process of installing a backup or number 1 hard drive being the one in there now is 0. Last week disk management could not format my new hard driv

Windows 10 Digital License

When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or receive a new computer preinstalled with Windows 10, what happened is the hardware (your PC) will get a digital entitlement, where a unique signature of the computer will be stored on Microsoft
Activation Servers. The Windows 7 or Windows 8 genuine license you were previously running will be exchanged for a diagnostics key.

Anytime you need to reinstall Windows 10 on that machine, just proceed to reinstall Windows 10. It will automatically reactivate. You will prompted to enter a product key a couple times through the installation, click I don't have
a key and Do this later.

There is no need to know or get a new key, but if you have issues with Digital Licensing or the Activation Troubleshooter, you can utilize an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key you already own to
reactivate if necessary. or use the reset function in Windows 10.
