    What does it mean when my computer has no product key?


    I bought a PC from a friend, and I did a factory reset to clear all of his info. When I was setting it up, it told me windows was not found in setting. I went to activation and in red letters it says, "Windows reported no product key was found on your device". I don't know anything about computers, and I saw a few things about putting in a command in command prompt. If anyone has any suggestions, I will gladly take them.

    :)
