Windows 10: Product Key activation not working

The error code is 0x803FA067 and I really need help activating my product key. I took it from an old laptop I had which had a retail product key meaning I can put it on another device so I tried putting it on my new computer and it says my product key is not valid. Please help?!

Activate windows 10 after re-installing (I have lost my product key)

I own a Lenovo T430 laptop. In 2017, I installed Windows 10 using my original Windows 7 product key. Unfortunately, I cannot find that product key anymore. I need to re-install windows 10. Will it be automatically activated after the installation, if I skip the step of asking the product key during the installation?

In my opinion, I believe that my laptop will have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft Activation Servers and this will not be a problem. Is that true?

If not, please suggest me a solution or a workaround.
