Hi,

 

You do not need product key to install Windows 10. You can download from Microsoft and install. If prompted for product key, click on do not have one and continue installation. Windows 10 will automatically activate once installed and connected to internet as long as you install the same version (home or pro) which was already installed once on the PC. The Microsoft servers will identify your PC and activate.

 

Hope it helps,

David

Hi:

 

Since your notebook came with W10, you can make your own plain W10 installation media by using the Media creation tool at the link below.

 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

The software will work with the product key in your notebook's BIOS.  You don't need to know what the key code is.

 

Then go to your notebook's support page to install the drivers and available software you need...
