Partial Windows Product Key

Windows 10 Digital License

When you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or receive a new computer preinstalled with Windows 10, what happened is the hardware (your PC) will get a digital entitlement, where a unique signature of the computer will be stored on Microsoft
Activation Servers. The Windows 7 or Windows 8 genuine license you were previously running will be exchanged for a diagnostics key.

Anytime you need to reinstall Windows 10 on that machine, just proceed to reinstall Windows 10. It will automatically reactivate. You will prompted to enter a product key a couple times through the installation, click I don't have
a key and Do this later.

There is no need to know or get a new key, but if you have issues with Digital Licensing or the Activation Troubleshooter, you can utilize an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key you already own to
reactivate if necessary. or use the reset function in Windows 10.

You need to upgrade the first time around. Once you upgrade, you can use that key for a clean installation. I've done 2 clean installations with my Windows 7 key since I upgraded to 10 the first time around.

For me, early on on it had trouble until it got on the internet but, if it doesn't accept the key, the Windows installer will let you install without a key and once you get internet, it will activate just as a standard Windows 10 key will. I've done 2 clean installations with my Windows 7 key already.

So that is what that was? Network wasn't setup on my end but it still let me do it. I use wireless and it wasn't configured, unless the powerline adapter was plugged in and I didn't notice. I thought that not providing the key would have just made it a "trial" or something with the ability to activate after the machine has booted, with drivers and network access. I like your explanation better though.
