Microsoft has made it simple to activate Windows 10.

On new machines the product key is stored in BIOs and is used automatically by the Windows when connected to the Internet.

In Windows 10 hardware activation is used. Your Windows 10 will be automatically activated until you don't make changes to the hardware.

If you want to install same version as fresh no problem click I don't have a product key link during installation and it will be activated automatically.

You can also switch between 32-bit and 64-bit without need of a key in the same edition.

If you want to see OEM details visit Microsoft live and check devices tab. You will get everything there.
