Windows 10 Activation

Question

I recently replaced my hard drive and installed Windows 10.  The system is an XPS 8500.  It originally came with Windows 7 and upgraded to 10.  Since intallation, I have a message in the bottom right indicating 'Activate Windows'.  When I go through the process I get a message indicating 'Windows reported that no product key was found on your device.  Error code: 0xC004F213'.  How can I get the product key back?  I no longer have the original drive.

Enter Your Product Key AgainEntering your Windows key again may refresh your license information and fix the problem. Navigate to Settings. Then select Update & Security. Click on Activation. Select Change product key Enter the key you used before and check if re-validating it fixes the issue.Regards, J Wick
