I bought a computer off Kijiji that was from someone who builds them for cheap. I bought it for a plex server.
I recently did a hard drive check, and the hd is getting spotty.
I did a check for windows license and it says it’s “retail” with a partial key. I was thinking of buying a new SSD to put in but how do I get a windows key now?
I’m somewhat computer minded but this one I’ve never dealt with. (I also have no interest in installing Linux right now)
Thanks!

these are save and trusted open-source scripts to activate windows for free using various methods.
Windows 10 is free from Microsoft by visiting their website and creating a USB bootable drive.
Enough answers for how to get windows running here. But have you considered switching to Linux?
Yeah if it’s just for Plex something like Endeavour OS would be pretty much painless.
Definitely easier than fighting a key.
Kinda hijacking but I can’t believe how easy endeavor is, like t2linux for mac’s is a mess but half the drivers aur just HAD naturally, and the installation was fully automatic
Yeah I’ve been recommending Arch based did for a while. Personally I’m on void and Alpine, but as a first distro things like Cachy and Endeavour are unrivalled.
