Product number: 2PR72EA

Operating System: Windosws 10 pro (64bit)

Version: 1909

OS Build: 18363.836

BIOS version: F.22

*********************************************

I formatted my computer. But I can't find the product key. I looked at the box. I couldn't find it on papers. It's also not under the computer.

Sameone said in BIOS. But the BIOS doesn't automatically activate it. Also it's not written in BIOS. At the bottom right of the screen there is the text "activate windows". I paid money for Windows. But I can't use it.

How can I activate theproduct key in the BIOS?

So what should I do to install and activate the home version? Will it be activated automatically?

Hello

 

yes Windows 10 activate automatically once you connect the notebook to Internet.

The activation process reads the data from you PC, including Digital product Key in the BIOS, then contact Microsoft server . if your PC is foudn in the database, Windows is activated.

 

Microsoft database is filled by data sent by factories where every PC manufacturer build the computer.

I can reinstall any Windows 10 Hoem version you want, it will alwasy activates.

 

Bye
