    Purchasing just a windows 10 product key


    So I just started a new job at a church, and we found the computer I use for work in a closet. We pulled it out, plugged it in, and found it was running Windows 10 already, but it wasn't activated. I was having some issues with it, so I had a tech friend look at it, and he said most of my problems would be fixed if I just found and entered the product key. Problem is, we can't find it anywhere. This is an older computer, and the product key printed on the side didn't work. Since it is already running windows 10, is it possible to just buy a new product key without rebuying the software?

    :)

    windows 10 key

    Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
