Hello

What's the context here? Are you reinstalling after hardware change, or reinstalling on same computer?

How did you obtain your license initially?

Did it come with the device preinstalled, or did you purchase it?

If you purchased it, did you purchase from Microsoft, or from third party?

Is it originally a Win7/8 key?

Just to make sure, is motherboard changed?

A Windows 10 product key cannot be issued through Q&A; activate with the digital license already attached to your PC or enter the legitimate key supplied with your purchase.

Activate Windows 10

Connect the computer to the internet.
Open Start → Settings → Update & Security → Activation.
Check the activation status.
If you previously activated Windows 10 on this computer with a Microsoft account, sign in using that same account. A digital license is associated with the device hardware and can be linked to the Microsoft account, so no product key needs to be located or entered.^1^
If you have a 25-character key, select Change product key, enter it, and complete the prompts.^2^

Where to find a legitimate key

Depending on how Windows was obtained, look in:

PC supplied with Windows 10: device packaging or the Certificate of Authenticity attached to the PC.
Boxed retail copy: label inside the Windows 10 box.
Digital copy from a retailer: purchase-confirmation email or the retailer’s digital locker.
Microsoft Store purchase: confirmation email or Microsoft account associated with the purchase.
Volume Licensing or MSDN: the relevant program portal.^1^

Do not use keys published online; they may be stolen, blocked, or licensed for another device or edition.

If there is no license or key

From Settings → Update & Security → Activation, select Go to Store to check the available purchasing options. Microsoft documents this as the route for purchasing a digital license when the computer has neither a product key nor a digital license.^2^

If activation fails, record the exact error code shown on the Activation page. That code is needed to identify whether the problem concerns the license, installed Windows edition, or a hardware change.
