Want to know my genuine Product Key
Hii
This is Atharv. I had bought a Dell Laptop which was preinstalled with windows 8. Recently I have to change my HDD, so, I sent it to a repair store. The man in the store installed a pirated windows 10 on the new hard drive and activated using a pirated product key. Now, I want to know my genuine Product Key so that I can install a genuine windows. Please help me in this matter.
Can you please tell me how I can get my original genuine product key? Or suggest some methods to install genuine windows again on my laptop.

You can do a clean install of Windows 10 but might have to buy a new license activation key -- not a product key.
Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

Possibly but @Mary G may be spot on. This MS forum has some information on retrieving the key but if it does not work then you may have to purchase another key again and clean install.

Windows 10 installation media (created by the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool) will automatically input the Windows 8.x OEM product key embedded in your systems UEFI BIOS during installation.
