    use Show Key Plus to find your product key - see instructions:

    How to Find Your Product Key After Upgrading to Windows 10

    http://www.groovypost.com/howto/find-windows-pr...

    After downloading it, extract the zip file then launch ShowKeyPlus.exe.

    ShowKeyPlus will reveal your product key and license information such as:

    Product Name

    Product ID

    The currently installed key, which is the generic product key used by Windows 10 depending on the edition installed.

    The Original product key. This can be your Windows 7 or Windows 8 retail or OEM product key before upgrading. This is the product key you want if you encounter product activation issues in Windows 10.

    OEM Key OR Retail: ShowKeyPlus will check for the presence of an OEM marker; that is how big name vendors activate multiple machines at the factory running Windows.

    In Windows 10 keys do not matter. As soon as you do a clean install Windows would automatically activate when it connects to the Internet, for the first time, provided you install the same version as was installed before.

    Are you not able to actually activate windows because you lost the key? If you have proof of purchase you can contact Microsoft support for help getting another key:

    You can Chat with Microsoft Support here

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus/

    Talk to Microsoft via Telephone here

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/405170...

    You can also use their virtual agent here

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contact/vir...

    I hope this helps.
