Windows 10: Windows 10 reactivation key/digital license

I have bought a used laptop with Windows 10 Home OEM, No key printed under Laptop installed on HDD and I wish to replace the HDD with SSD and install fresh Windows 10 Home on it using bootable USB, but it asks for a product key. What do I do about it and what's the best way to get and use my key whilst installation?

Digital license

Digital license won't reactivate on new hardware (motherboard, cpu ram)

Hello,

I have a digital license of Windows 10 that is linked to my Windows account. I've just replaced my motherboard, cpu and ram and whenever I attempt to reactivate my license the activation troubleshoot says "Unable to activate Windows, We can't reactivate Windows
on this device, Try again later.

Prior to changing my hardware I double checked my digital license, The activation said "Windows is activated with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account"

If I run 'winver' It also lists the produced is licensed to my Microsoft account.

According to this article below, All I should have to do is goto the activation troubleshooter and everything should work.

What are my next steps?

Thanks.

 

Digital license key

What do you mean by digital license "key"? I've heard of a digital license for Windows 10, and I've heard of a Product Key for Windows 10, but I've never heard of a digital license key.
