Windows 10: Switching dead SSD, don’t have windows key

Hello! I’m installing a new ssd drive for booting since my old one died and can’t be accessed at all. I bought this pc from ibuypower 5 years ago so I don’t have my windows key but that pc it is registered under my account. Could I recover my windows once I install the new ssd? And if so, how?

Installing SSD & Clean install

As long as you don`t change your motherboard you`re fine, you can install windows on any ssd/hard drive you want.

The Digital License is also connected to your Microsoft Account.

You don`t need to enter any key when installing W10 on the SSD, just choose Skip this Step, it will self activate once you get online.

 

Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

Method 1:
I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
2. Select or click Ease of Access.
3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
5. Check if issue is resolved.

Method 2:
I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.
