I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.
In most of the cases, you do not need a product key. Also, please note that activating the VM will deactivate the existing install.
To activate the VM, see the steps below:
- Go to the Start menu and click on Settings.
- Click on Update & Security.
- Click on Activation.
- Click on the "Troubleshoot" option.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation process.
Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.
