You can try locating the CD key for your PC, but it’s not always necessary if you’re reinstalling Windows 10 from scratch. The key is mainly useful if you want to restore your system exactly as it was before installation. Whether you need it depends on how you plan to set up your new PC.

It's the identical motherboard. Appreciate that. However, my friend performed the same action on his PC, which caused him to input the CD key. We replaced all the SSDs and hard drives.

To take extra precautions, you can sign up for your MS account and complete the registration through that method

I’d like to know, but I don’t have the actual CD key. It might be lost somewhere. That’s why I’m wondering if it’s possible to locate the CD using the Windows software you already have installed.
