Your HDD is no longer usable, but you might still retrieve the product key from the drive itself. Check the physical label or any documentation inside the case. If unavailable, consider using online tools or contacting the manufacturer's support for recovery options. Let me know if you need further help. Thanks!

Join the discussions here! Usually the product code is kept on the motherboard, not the hard drive... just pick "I don't have a product key" during setup and it will access the one built into the board.

Do you mean the Windows key button? It's built into the motherboard and stays active unless the board is replaced. Logging in with your Microsoft account will also enable it. For other programs like Office, you may need to reach out to their support team to reset it.
