    To reactivate your Windows operating system without the product key, you can follow these steps:

    1. Change Product Key: If you have access to a valid product key, you can change it by following these steps:
      • Open the Settings app.
      • Go to Update & Security > Activation.
      • Click on Change product key and enter the new key.
    2. Use Phone Activation: If you don't have a product key, you can try activating Windows by phone:
      • Open a Command Prompt as an administrator.
      • Run the command slmgr /dti to get your Installation ID.
      • Call the Microsoft Licensing Activation Center and provide them with the Installation ID to receive a Confirmation ID.
      • Use the command slmgr /atp <Confirmation ID> to activate your Windows.
    3. Rebuild Activation Files: If you are facing issues due to activation files, you may need to rebuild them:
      • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
      • Run the command cscript.exe %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <product key> to reinstall your product key if you manage to obtain one.
    4. Check for Genuine Notifications: If your Windows shows notifications about not being genuine, ensure that you have a valid license. You may need to purchase a new product key from Microsoft or an authorized retailer.

    If you continue to have issues, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance.

    Where did you get your Windows licence was that pre-installed on the PC or did you purchase a full retail Windows licence from Microsoft or from a 3rd party retailer?

    Or is your Windows licence based on a previous Windows 7 or 8 licence?

    Click your Start Button, type cmd then right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

    Run or paste this command and hit Enter:

    slmgr.vbs /dlv

    Please post a screenshot of the resulting dialog
