[QUOTE="Wookiee, post: 77443422, member: 335029"] Unless you're using a retail copy (which is very unlikely), when Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 get activated, the key gets tied to the motherboard - if it's a computer you bought off the shelf (ie Acer, Dell, etc.) the key is saved into the computer's hardware and it will detect it. The ID Jesse is talking about is for logon information; if you logged into your computer with a Microsoft email address (eg [email]dogs4thewin@outlook.com[/email]) then you would just use that again. You will also need the product information for Microsoft Office which will either be tied to a Microsoft account if it's newer or a product key install if it's as old as the computer (and at that point you really shouldn't be using that version of Office anymore). For what it's worth, at this point if you're really unsure you're better off taking it to someone who [I]does[/I] know what they're doing. [/QUOTE]
