Hi,

 

 

I just installed win 10 on my sisters computer, wiping it along the way.

Now it seems like i have lost the windows license connected to this computer (laptop)

 

Is there anything i can do? 

 

Kind regards

I'm assuming it had Windows 8 based on the title. You shouldn't need to input a product key because it is embedded in the BIOS.

That's all you need to know. It's a beast.
