How to find Windows 10 product key: You don’t always need a product key to clean install Windows 10

Since Microsoft has your computer’s ‘digital signature’ from the initial upgrade it recognises the combination of components when you do a clean install and automatically activates Windows. This means you can safely skip the screen which asks for a product key at the start of the installation process.

It’s just frustrating that there’s no message to tell you this: the screen is only for those installing a version of Windows 10 they’ve purchased and which therefore still requires a key.

Windows 10 should activate as long as you haven’t made any major changes to your PC. Upgrading from a hard disk to an SSD won’t affect anything, nor will changing your graphics card. However, upgrading your motherboard and processor will probably count as ‘significant’ and you’ll have to ring Microsoft’s support line if you find that Windows is no longer activated, or you’re reinstalling it.

How to check if Windows 10 is activated

You can right-click on the Start button and choose System from the menu that appears. Under Windows Activation, you should see “Windows is activated”.

Similarly, if you click on Settings on the Start Menu, then Update and Security you will see a section called Activation. Click or tap on that, and you’ll see the edition your computer is running and the activation status.
