    Will my product key be retained?


    Hello, I'm currently preparing to reinstall Windows 10 on my PC because I just wanted to reboot. Of course I have looked at YouTube tutorials and with all videos I am told that I can use Windows normally again which is also true with another PC of mine but is it still true when I activate UEFI mode in my BIOS because my PC is always in legacy mode before. Thanks in advance!

    :)

    Where is my Product Key if I want to re-install?


    Like davidhk said. But if you really want to see your windows key, I would suggest Belarc advisor. It will give you some useful information about your system, product keys of your software is among them (not only Microsoft, you will have listed most of your keys).

    Will my product key be retained?

    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.
