Yeah, that's what happened.

Yesterday I restored my PC to its original configuration and created a fresh local account (without touching Windows Live). When I tried to log in, it failed. I remember entering the correct password, but I suspect a typo might be the issue. My main concern is reinstalling Windows 10, though—I have a gaming laptop and don’t have a disc or USB drive with a copy of Windows installed. If there’s any chance to resolve this, please assist me; I’m really sorry for any trouble caused. Thanks in advance!

On most laptops, there is an internal recovery mechanism built in.

some simple alternatives exist for handling windows passwords, like using a hidden boot disk.

previous attempt with Hiren's boot didn't succeed on Windows 10, but it's still worth a try.

Several options exist for modifying Windows login details, though reinstalling the operating system is available through Microsoft’s official downloads. I typically perform a fresh installation on any devices I receive.

It's not possible to do that using an OEM key, I'm not entirely sure.

There are several options, though most involve creating a boot disc. You could instead prepare a Windows installation USB drive.

I’ve tried it several times already. Just bypass the prompt asking for a key. Windows 10’s key is digital, even for OEM, so it turns on automatically when you’re connected.

Thanks for the update. I'll proceed with my plan and let me know if you discover any other options.

the source isn't the installer; the actual download page on the windows site seems to verify whether the key is OEM. it did this for both Windows 7 and XP keys that are OEM.
