If you have a retail key for Windows(this is the key already installed in your PC, you don't need to have it written down or anything), then when enough hardware is changed in your computer, Windows may think you are trying to move your license to a different computer...

 

If you've never done this before, then it may allow you to "re-activate" the license online with an easy button press, over the internet. If for some reason the license you have has been activated or re-activated more than a couple times, it may tell you it can't activate itself online again. In this case, you find the "activate by telephone" option, and you're walked through a robo call dialog on the phone, send some numbers back and forth, etc.. and then you're windows install will activate.

sorry if i'm reiterating but how do i find the key? is it like the sticker on the back of my pc? or do i go into the bios to find out? or just plain in simple just go to settings to find it?

It's not the easiest thing to look up, but this article shows a few methods.
