Installation Key from a OEM Product Key
I'm doing some work for a mate where his hard drive crashed like it just had a chest grabber and all he has is his product which doesn't work as an installation key.
When I click on "I don't have a product key" the Win10 installation process won't let me go any further as it simply states I need one. But all I have is the product OEM key which is 20 characters while a product installation key is 25 so install won't take that either. Does anyone know a way to attain the installation key from the product OEM key or a workaround or do I have to suck it up and wait until morning and call MS? TIA |

There should be an option to "Do this later" at the part where it asks for the key. What version of Windows are you using to install?
