Windows 10: Recovering Windows License when SSD dies

Hi there,


My SSD died, which contained my Windows 7 Installation, and I am now looking to replace the SSD, along with several other parts in the computer which have now become too old.


I didn't have the Windows 7 Installation linked to my Microsoft account, and I don't know where the disk is, but is it possible to recover the Product Key, or would I need to purchase a new product key to install?


Cheers

:)

 

Reinstalling Windows 10 after ssd died

Hello,

My ssd died last week. My new one will arrive tomorrow.

But I don't know how i can recover my windows 10. It was a windows 7 upgrade to 10. (And I can't find the windows 7 key ..)

I never linked my windows license to an outlook account i think, so I don't know what to do.

This is still the same motherboard and hardware, i'll just replace the ssd.

Any advice on how to get my windows 10 back ?

Thanks !

Recovering SSD with bad blocks?

Copied from folder 1. After rebooting into media disk, Diskpart > list volume, still does not show the c drive as a boot drive. Also rebooting into the SSD drive gives a new stop code: Critical Process Died, then reboots with a code of System Thread Exception and then Critical Process Died, the Thread Exception, rinse and repeat.

Interesting, if I use the Kythi boot and look at the config folder with Explorer it shows a bunch more files:




But only in this environment. If I take this config folder and look at on my laptop, it does not show all these hidden files, just the COMPONENTS, DEFAULT, etc.

Those .logX files appear binary if opened with notepad in WinPe.

When do I throw in the towel and do a fresh install? One thing that has been holding me back on this I have some older Adobe products that I might have difficulty reinstalling. Adobe might say those licenses have been used up.
