    Hard drive crashed and need activation key for new drive Windows 10 install

    Any way to get the activation key for a computer that had a hard drive crash? Want to buy a new drive and do a fresh Windows 10 install but I guess I need the activation key for which I cannot find the sticker. Computer is a Dell that is 3 years old
