HP Pavilion Notebook - 15-ab254sa (ENERGY STAR)
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

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

 

Pau

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

 

Regards.
