windows 10 home 64 Bit: how to find your activation key.
most desktop or lap-top PC's dont have that activation sticker on the outside or inside the computer, instead it's embedded into the mother board or something like that. and since this pc of mine was a new purchase, i needed that activation key, in case my hard drive goes tits up and i have to buy a new hard drive and then re-install windows 10, using the ISO file i burned to DVD disk. so i surfed online and found a link telling me how. if this works for you and your able to get that activation key, write it down, then you have to call Microsoft and make sure the activation key is a good one.....thats what i had to do . now i have my activation key...let me know if this worked for you , i hope it does,
