I have re-installed Windows 10 onto my new pc using Microsoft software, but want to get my old key for the version i was running on my old PC. How do i do this? I already have a key associated with my Microsoft account

Find your Windows product key

A product key is a 25-character code used to activate Windows. It looks like this:

PRODUCT KEY: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Microsoft doesn't have a record of product keys for software that's already been purchased, but here's now you can find the product key you already have. If you’re reinstalling Windows 10, you may not need your Windows product key. See Activation in Windows 10 for more information.

 

The location of your product key depends on how you got your copy of Windows:

 

 

 

From an authorized retailer. The product key should be on a label or card inside the box that Windows came in.

A new PC running Windows. The product key will be pre–installed on your PC, included with the packaging the PC came in, or included on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) attached to the PC.

A digital copy from a Microsoft website. The product key will be in the confirmation email you received after buying it. Or it may be distributed as a digital license if you bought Windows 10, in which case you won't receive a product key.

Free upgrade to Windows 10. If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you'll have a digital license instead of a product key. For more info about digital licenses in Windows 10, see Activation in Windows 10.
