To be more specific, a friend gave me his Lappy with Win10 on it but a friend of mine played Win7 on it. Now I need Win10 and the friend does not have the keykey or NEN recovery drive or something has not synonymous. He knows his Microsoftacc. He does not or does not know the access data. What do I do now to get Win10? And I do not want to buy a new one.
Was the notebook shipped with Lenovo by Lenovo? Then the key is deposited in the bios. Just install Win10, it will activate automatically.
If the notebook was shipped with Win7 or 8 and updated with the free option: a BIOS checksum is known to Microsoft on the activation servers: just install Win10, it will automatically activate.
The hard drive was flattened and Windows 7 Ulti was loaded.
Irrelevant. What was originally there?
Windows 10.
Windows 10. But it was flattened. So erased. The BIOS is not interested in what was on the hard drive, it is or it is said on it.
Especially since the key has been overwritten. That means the key of win7 is now there and not that of Win10
No, wrong thinking. The Win10 key is stored in the BIOS. See here: https://de.wikipedia.org/...tion_Table
And how do I install this?
https://www.microsoft.com/.../windows10
There you can download Win10 and create a bootstick.
Then just install WITHOUT ENTERING A LICENSE KEY. The key is found in the bios and automatically activated when the internet contact.
Then I'll try that.
Do not I have to install but completely new over UEFI? This is not a legacy feature
