After installing the Windows 10 Pro upgrade my computer crashed and will not reboot. I created the USB backup for Windows 10 Pro, but to reinstall the upgrade it asks for the product key. Where can I get the key?
I cannot restore nor do a recovery as I cannot access my drives. I have no internet access and all attempted reboots keeps going in circles and never boots. I updated from Windows 8.1 Pro, which also was a free Windows upgrade from Windows 8. Prior to the crash, Windows 10 Pro was slower and very often had 'not responding' when I tried to enter a web site. Has anyone had similar problems with Windows 10 Pro? Hi David, You can refer the link below and check if it helps. Why can't I activate Windows 10?: Can I clean re-install Windows 10 after upgrading?

The only hardware changes that can negatively impact activation status once you upgrade to free version are the changes to the: • CPU • TPM • Motherboard replacement The following changes are examples of hardware changes that will NOT impact the activation status: • HDD/SSD • Video card • Adding extra memory If you replace the CPU, TPM, or Motherboard you may have to re-activate but this will not require a purchase of Windows 10. Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
