Hi,

You do not need product key to activate Windows 10. If you install the same version (home or pro) which was already on the PC it will automatically activate once installed and connected to internet. During installation if prompted click on "do not have product key". It might take a little time to activate however if you go into settings and go to security and update click on the tab on the left activation and click on activate now.

 

Let me know if there is any problems.

 

 

Hope it helps,

David
