Windows 10 license key HP Spectre x360

[Owner-x360]

I own a HP Spectre x360 - 13-4104 from early 2016 and now my harddrive has crashed. I will replace it and intend to install Windows 10 again from from a Microsoft image. How do I access the license key for activation?

BAsically -- you don't!  When you ran Win10 earlier, your PC got registered with the MS Activation servers for running Win10.

So now, when you reinstall Win10 and go back online, your PC will contact those servers and you will be automatically reactivated.  There is nothing you need to do for that to happen.

Also, when you reinstall and see a window open to enter a product key, use the option near the bottom of the window to Skip that -- as you do NOT want to manually enter a key.

Good Luck
