So, I've been writing a 175k word One Piece fanfic for about 6 months. Most of my writing is done on a 10 year-old laptop I dug out of the closet while I wait for my kid to finish sports practice. Today, the hard-drive died. (Thankfully I have a cloud backup.)

Now, without a laptop, I have nothing to continue working on. I can't afford a new laptop. Just glad I didn't lose all my work.

Your license is tied to the laptop.

Windows should remember the BIOS and activate fine, I think. And as posted below, you can extract they key if that doesn’t work.

You can get the install medium on a USB stick from Microsoft for free.
