Windows will automatically detect your system's digital license (which is embedded in the hardware) and activate.
Your system will also detect the Digital License Key and activate Windows if your computer came with Windows 8 Pro.

About this Drive: No drivers have been installed for a specific model. Windows will install most drivers on the first boot. You can then install additional drivers by running Windows update. If some drivers are still missing you can update them from the laptop manufacturer's support website. Please note that we are not selling any software and that Windows 10 Pro has been preinstalled for your convenience. It has not been activated. The buyer must have a Microsoft digital license or product key for Windows 10 Pro. If Windows is not activated within 1 month, some features will no longer work.
The buyer must have a Microsoft digital license or product key for the exact version of Windows 10 installed (in this case Windows 10 Pro). These drives are for people who purchased a desktop with no hard drive, or whose hard drives have crashed and do not have the Windows media to reinstall the operating system, or who want to upgrade to a Drive with Windows 10 Pro. A license or key for any other version of Windows 10 will not validate Windows 10 Pro. If you don't own Windows 10 Pro, but want to upgrade to it, you can purchase a key from Microsoft.
Digital Windows 10 Licenses/Embedded License
A digital license is a virtual product key. If you previously upgraded from an older version of Windows to Windows 10, you have what is known as a digital or embedded license. That means the Microsoft servers already know you have a Windows 10 license for that desktop, which is linked to serial numbers of several pieces of hardware they identified in your desktop and it will be automatically validated by Microsoft without you putting in an actual product key. While you do not need a physical product key in this case, you do need to know if you own Windows 10 Pro or Windows 10 Home as the installed version on the hard drive must match the version you own.
