    Windows 10 errors and issues

    So I was trying to install a driver for my keyboard and it restarted to finish the installation. Next thing I know I get a blue error screen with "D:\Windows\system32\logfiles\srt\srtTrail.txt".

    I can't boot my pc in normal or safe mode or I'll get another error screen saying "phase_1_ initialization_failed" and it restarts, getting stuck on a black screen.

    All of the cmd promts I've tried have failed, saying a path is unavailable, there's been an error, or access denied.

    Normally at this point I'd just give in and reset my computer, but my mom threw away my product key without realizing it and I can't access it in the command prompt.

    Is there anything I can do to restore my computer despite all of these factors?
