We would like to flatten the old laptop of my girlfriend. This is about 5 years old and stubborn, so I wanted to put it on again.
But she does not remember how she got Windows 10 on the computer.
It has no installation CD, no installation USB stick and no serial code or anything else.
Only the old laptop.
I just wanted to create a USB stick to boot, but then stopped, so I do not know if you need to enter a key when reinstalling?
How can we rebuild the PC?
Hi, on my old laptop once the hard drive was broken. Have therefore bought a new and installed via USB Win10. The key was immediately entered automatically because it is stored on laptops.
So you do not have to enter anything, everything runs automatically and you can loosen it up easily

that is simply wrong
where should he be stored? Your OS will be installed on the hard disk and nowhere else… And there your license will be stored.
Then most of the data is still on it. Always re-set yourself!
The license is not stored on the device, but on a Microsoft server. Otherwise, this answer is absolutely correct!
Funny that this was always recognized immediately and I did not enter anything… Please only answer something like that if you really have idea… And btw this is coupled to the motherboard
I'm talking about the license CODE
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Microsoft generates a hash from your hardware that is marked as "enabled." This is stored in an MS database. This activates a previously activated device immediately after the first network connection.
Thanks, I did not know that it works. I can't remember when I last flattened my PC myself
Exactly, more precisely to a little more hardware components. The license key no longer exists in this form. Your hardware will be marked as "activated" on a server, so that you get activated the first time you connect to the internet.
For computers sold with pre-installed Windows (OEM), the key is stored in the Bios / UEFI in the ACPI-SLIC tables.
or
After activation, Windows creates a so-called digital license, linked to the hardware ID and the Windows Store account. If the user does not use an account for the store (as presumably the majority of users), the digital license is only linked to the hardware ID. Windows is then activated immediately after a new installation.
Reinstall Windows and click "I do not have a key" during installation.

If you do that completely, plan a little bit on time, did that straight at the 3t calculator. Until everything was up to date 9 hours are gone.
Haha. Yes, since you wrote 😅 so far at 60%
slowly, but it goes ahead.
I've started the evening in the bedroom I'm afraid to sleep had when I realized how long that takes…
the whole windows updates are broken after the first start. But I was also throttled… At 1mb / s
I too slowly, but are only 4 hours for. Wow now 61% 😋👻
The last 11 went faster with me. I think there started the installation, the gind is pretty fast "felt" ahja and 1903 had to suck you again…
68% 😎😎
1903?: - / the full version thing?
This is the big windows 10 mai 2019 update, so a kind of new windows that is available in 2 updates for donload free for 7-8-10 users. Half may october i think so.
I find the maiupdate already great, the first time a verbesseeung are xp ^^
98% relaxing!
Finished?
Yes, especially in the last moves. Yesterday he made 100%, after that everything went relatively fast. Right now he's still behind me on the couch, downloading the security updates.
Is ne hard cucumber to put on.
Isser then as new
I notice already when booting. He is almost 5 years old and was so greasy that about 4-5 minutes to the full boot was not uncommon.
Now he can do it in less than 60 seconds. That's really record-breaking.
