Thanks for the suggestion..... but I have a problem. I have a Win 10
ISO disk, downloaded and saved some time ago, but my Win 10 was an
upgrade from Win 7, and don't have access to my Win 7 product key.
That is, I have it, but it's boxed away in one of dozens of boxes
packed away a year ago after storing everything that wasn't damaged in
the flood of Harvey. Is there some way to read the installed key from
my current installation so I can activate the "new" installation?


I googled basically this question, and found that what I should be
asking for is a digital licensa, since I upgraded from Win 7. I don't
recall ever "seeing" the license....


If you had upgraded your Win 7 using its product key, then you got a
life digital entitlement to use Win 10 in the same machine.

Just download the Win 10 ISO and install it using the Win 7 product key.

There is a trick to use to download the ISO from the official link
above. I am doing it with Firefox and an add-on that changes user-agent
string.
