HP Slim Desktop - S01-aF1004na Hard Drive failure Windows 10 64 home

[riggie]

Hi Everyone

I have a 5 year old HP Slim Desktop - S01-AF1004na unit and the drive has failed.

I have a replacement SSD to fit, and then install windows 10 64 bit.

The case does not have the current Microsoft Operating key, is there anyway or anywhere I could

find this Key? ( as there is no access to the drive according to family member)

( the only item on the back of the PC that looks like a key is called FeatureByte )

Cheers Riggie

It’s very likely to be embedded in the bios. Boot from a W10/11 usb installation and it’ll probably install and activate with no input required.

Excellent, thanks for the help.
