I don't think that tool asks for a key if you are running the version of Windows you are trying to download the ISO for.

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.

Windows 8 Activation, product key and update.

Hi,

1. I bought a laptop 2 years back and with windows 8 installed in it and it has the product key (I can see the same in properties of my computer). I am unable to update windows. Does having the product key just mean that you have the product and not necessarily
can you update windows?

If no, please suggest as to how I can update my windows 8?

2. what does it mean to activate window (I am a bit confused between activating the windows and updating it, help)?
