My windows 7 (activated) recently got crashed so I managed to install windows 10 using usb. i did succeed but windows 10 is not activated. Windows 7 was also Activated but windows 10 upgrade didn't detect my product key, also i cannot find it anywhere. What do I can do, I also cant afford a new lisence to windows 10. Is there any way to Activate windows without purchasing a new product key? Plz help me solve this problem

    Microsoft no longer allows users to activate new installations of Windows 11 or 10 using product keys from older versions, such as Windows 7 and 8.

    The Windows 10 free upgrade through the Get Windows 10 (GWX) app ended on July 29, 2016.
