My laptops warranty ran out so of course the computer breaks. I had an issue with windows not working right so i did a system restore but somehow the restore point wasnt readable or something so it had to do a complete system wipe. Then Windows didnt load itself right after the wipe so it messed up again. at this point ive already taken it in to a computer place and the guys said he'd fix it. i told him i couldnt ready the sticker on the bottom of my computer so i wouldnt be able to reinstall windows. Turns out thats what he did so im wondering if theres a way to salvage the product key from microsoft or if theres something else i could do.
i'd prefer not to buy a new windows key from that laptop because windows costs more than half of the computer itself.
Its a HP G series laptop btw
