How can I get another mail with the activation key?

Question

I bought Windows 8 and after some time I upgraded to the new version. My computer recently broke and I bought a new one but I can't find the key in my mail. I think I deleted the messages because it was a long time ago. Is there a way to make a duplicate of message with the activation key?

Answer 1

If you linked your license to your Microsoft account before the old PC died:

Go to: https://account.microsoft.com/devices

Look for your old PC.

If it's listed, there may be a Windows license linked to your account.

Sign into the new PC using the same Microsoft account.

Go to Settings > System > Activation > and try “Troubleshoot” to re-activate Windows using your account’s digital license.

• You will likely need to purchase a new license unless Microsoft Support can help recover it. Contact Microsoft Support
