How to check Windows 10 Product Key on your computer Wanting to do a clean install of Windows 10 on your PC device? If your device is installed with Windows 10 or upgraded from Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, you may need to find out your Windows 10 activation key from your computer. The key is sent to Microsoft when the computer searches for the latest update. Only valid license keys can update the operating system. The product identification number is shown in the Windows 'System' window. I need to know where to find my product key number. I cannot use some programs without it. I did receive a product key number from Norton Security systems but when I try to use it, the system says it is incorrect. The number I have is. Can you confirm this is correct or tell me where to access the correct product key number.
You can use Acronis Cloner which is a bootable cd, to clone your current hard drive and all of its contents to the new hdd, this includes windows, activated and everything. Infact the only thing you may have to do after cloning is open disk management and resize the partition on the new hdd to fit (if the new hdd is a larger size than the old one) Acronis cloning is literally three or four clicks. Just take note of the model numbers of both drives, old and new,and take note as to which is which, then plug in both hard drives to internal sata as well as power, insert the acronis bootable cd, restart the pc and boot to the disk, then just clone. Select the old drive as the source and the new one as destination, and hit start. And some amount of time later all you need to do is take the new one and install it in the place of the old one and start your computer normally. Then resize the partition of the new hdd if its bigger than the old one.
