Merging partition with unallocated space on hard drive

[Moffy]

Hi . Thank you. Think I’m getting there now. I disabled quick boot in bios and it started to load.
So I’m all but there now.
The only niggling thing is the product key.
I took note of it as advised, before the clean install. ( Remembering that the pc was originally win 7 with free upgrade to win 10, apparently I could re use the product key again for the same computer)
I can’t get it to accept the product key, so that I can see it in command prompt like I did before the re install.
I’m now worried that after 30 days Microsoft will block it.

As you were already running Windows 10 on the computer you should not need to enter any product key.

That’s great. I really appreciate all your help on this. All the best

You may have missed the same info in my reply #2 but you are welcome in any event

Being that you are already running Windows 10 you will not need to enter a Windows 10 product key for the clean install as the MB and product key information is already stored on the Microsoft database.
