Windows 10 reinstall license
The laptop was originally set up with Windows 10, but I installed Windows 7. Now I want to go back to the original Windows 10 version. What steps can I take to get a genuine, pre-installed Windows 10 without purchasing a new copy from Microsoft? When I flash an ISO of Windows 10, will it recognize the license embedded in the machine? Additionally, I’m curious about how laptop manufacturers install Windows in new devices—they typically require a product key to verify the operating system.
if you possessed an active Windows 10 installation on your laptop prior to updating to 7, the license would remain valid for ten years. Simply reinstall Windows 10, when prompted for a license during the update process, select "I don't have one" and the installation will proceed. Afterward, verify your activation on a server to ensure your PC has a valid license. All information is now stored on Microsoft servers.
