    Product key recovery after Windows removal


    I mistakenly removed my WIndows 10 Operating System without a backup while trying to dual boot to Linux. However, while setting up my WIndows machine for the first time I used my email address. My laptop came with WIndows pre-installedHow can I revert back to Windows and activate my system using my previous product key?

    :)

  2. Can anyone give me the reset recovery key for windows 10

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    A quick question before we proceed:

    Are you referring to the Recovery key for BitLocker or the key that needed for resetting Windows Phone?



    If you are referring to the Reset Key that is needed for Windows Recovery, then I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps:

    • Go to account.microsoft.com/devices.
    • Next to the phone you no longer own, click I don't own this phone anymore.
    • Select “I’m ready to remove my phone “check box, note the
      recovery key, and then click Remove. The recovery key will display on the page and will also be emailed to you.
    • When you're certain that you have your recovery key saved, select “I’ve kept a copy of the recovery key “ check box, and then click Okay.
    • Forward the recovery key email to your phone recipient.
    Your phone is no longer listed on account.microsoft.com/devices, and you can remove Reset Protection during phone setup using recovery key option.



    If you are referring to reset key for BitLocker, then I suggest you to refer to the following Microsoft article.

    Convert a Windows 8pro product key to a Windows 10pro produkt key

    Hi Andre,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

    I suggest you to Uninstall the license using the following steps.

    • Press Windows key + X
    • Click Command Prompt (Admin)
    • At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs -upk
    • Press Enter, this will uninstall the product key from the computer.
    Further on, install Windows 8.1 activate the copy with the product key on the new machine. Then again upgrade the same to Windows 10 using Window Update or Media Creation Tool.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
