Windows 10: Windows 10 Lcense Key

My hard drive crashed on my HP DV6 laptop. I cannot back up or recover. I understand I can download a copy of Windows 10 if I have the license key that came with my upgrade. If this is correct were do I find this license key. so that I may reinstall on my new hard drive. Thank you

:)

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

 

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

windows 10 lcense problem

You have a volume license client installed.

Windows 10 Activation reports your license will soon expire.

This can happen for a number of reasons:

• If you or someone copied a Windows 10 Pro key off the Internet (usually a volume license - organization - key) and changed on a Windows 10 Home installation, this will happen. Windows 10 Pro is not free.
  If this is what you did, you will need to reinstall the previous edition or version you were running. You inadvertently installed the wrong edition.
  • The copy of Windows 10 you download and upgrade from will correspond with the edition of Windows you have installed, if it does not, this is why you might be experiencing problems activating:

• Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Windows 8.0 Core, Windows 8.1 Core
  will install Windows 10 Home
  

• Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8.0 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro
  will install Windows 10 Pro
