    Refund for a Windows 10 Product Key That won't Activate


    Hi,


    I recently bought a Windows 10 Home product key straight from the Windows website for a new PC build that I'm doing. I initiatially used the product key on one build, but since Windows kept crashing or won't boot after three times of clean install and a BIOS update, I decided to start a new build. Before I switched over, I made sure to deactivate the product key, so I could use it on my new build. At least, that was the plan. Upon entering the product key into my new build, Windows recognized it but won't activate, saying that the product key is still being used on another device. This problem has given me more headaches than it warrants, so I would like to know if I could simply ask for Microsoft to directly deactivate this product key and give me a refund, and I'll just buy a new product key.


    Thank you,


    Operator_6O

    :)

    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.

    my windows 10 oem didn't come with a product key

    windows 10 can also activate solely based on HWID no key required how do you think the microsoft store activation works it installs a generic key and activates based on hwid
