Missing operator system

Hello  M C

I bought my father a new small HP notebook a few months ago ..

the big windows 10  update rendered the little storage capacity full without completing the update...

Long and short of it is that i removed what i could just to have the capacity to perform a recovery..

i had to download the recovery to an external drive but somewhere along the way i seem to have lost the operating system.

the recovery goes so far and then stops .. upon restart a message 'no operating system' ..

i am about to download a windows 10 iso image ... but if i need a product key what do i do i have the serial number etc on the laptop,

but not sure if dad kept the box ..

Any help would be great 

Thank you 

regards 

Mr Rajput

    Hi Ajay,

    We have a thread that will help you view your product key. Visit this thread: View your product key and look for the post of our MVP Andre Da Costa. You will need to open Windows PowerShell to enter this command.
