Windows 10: Licence key

Hello community,


I am trying to find out if there is a way I can get my old windows 10 home key from my dead laptop the hard drives and ram corrupt and couldn't even get past the bios, it's now taken apart and used for parts. so I can use it in my newly built desktop rather than paying $225?

:)

 

Reinstalling Windows 10 without a licence key

Hi,

I have a 10 year old laptop which originally was running Windows Vista. Due to the manufacturer date of the laptop, I was entitled to the free upgrade to Windows 7, which I kept until the roll-out of the Windows 10 upgrade. When my laptop upgraded to Windows
10, I did not pay for the upgrade and did not receive a licence key.

1. If I go to the Windows 10 download tool and select install with the 'keep Nothing during the upgrade' option, will I require a licence key?
   
2. Can I build the laptop from scratch if it was originally a Visa machine or will I need to step from Vista to 8.1 to 10?

Regards

Keith

 

ShowkeyPlus - generic licence product key?

I upgraded from win7 to win10.

I now want to move my system/installation to a new SSD drive. However whilst I have created a Windows 10 media installation disk i have been advised that i still need a licence key once Win10 installed on the new SSD.

They have suggested using the app ShowKeyPlus. when I ran it, it showed a licence key but there was an asterisk which pointed to a caveat

'generic key - requires a Digital Licence for activation'.

Can someone clarify this situation?

Thanks
