A lot of people don’t realize that if you upgraded to Windows 10 for free, you might not have a traditional product key at all. Instead, Microsoft could have linked your digital license to your Microsoft account.

If you bought a physical copy of Windows, your product key is often on a sticker inside the box. But sometimes you might be tempted to toss that packaging away. I get it—it looks like junk! But before you do that, give it a quick check. That key is vital if you want to reinstall or repair your Windows!
