Reinstall Windows 10 on new hard drive - Microsoft Community


information appreciated.  i have had replace hard drive in laptop, having done needed reinstall windows 10 did not have recovery disk (it download update). bought key amazon , downloaded windows 10 microsoft.  installation went fine, fine seems work without need of new key.  i signed on using microsoft account, same desktop pc , original laptop.  the new install has product id, no idea came from. install time out after while or permanent? mean did not need buy new key?

since had windows 10 installed , activated on pc have digital entitlement stored on microsoft servers, therefore, there no need buy product key. old licence (product key) last lifetime of device, see if can refund product key bought on amazon . . .
