Hi people
I need to use the https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Microsoft windows downloadable software USB creation tool to reinstall Windows 10 Home on my HP Pavillion 15-ab254sa Laptop as my HP recovery software has the X:\sources\recovery\tools\HP\rita-tool\ error and will not perform a clean install
How can I get my HP Pavillion supplied OEM 25 character product key for re-installation using the official Microsoft downloaded windows 10 Home USB ISO?
l
Thank you in advance

You won't need product key to re-install Windows 10, it is embedded in BIOS of your machine. If you wish, please use
