Laptop purchased from windows 8. It has a sticker but no number. Then it was made via the internet upgrade to win10. The disk has failed and is installing new windows 10. Where to get the license number?

There is no possibility or need. If the key prompt appears, choose I don't have the key ..., activation will take place on the march (after connecting to the network and logging into the Microsoft account.

and how is win10 with a local account?

This should not bother you (in the worst case telephone contact will be needed - however, the probability is negligible). It does not change the fact that - in your case - the Windows 10 key that can be read from the system is not individual and on its basis it is impossible to activate the system.

what is it about? I thought it was stitched somewhere in the bios

It is, but in this case from Windows 8.

If you have made a legal update to win10, just after installation click ACTIVATE license or ACTIVATE windows - without entering the serial number and it will be legally activated. No additional problems. Registration and activation takes place after recognizing the serial number of the motherboard. Generally Win10 should activate during installation. To check your current serial number, simply install a simple program. Switching. After downloading, please change the extension .zip to .exe

For me it went without a problem alone

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around retrieving a Windows 10 license number after a disk failure on a Toshiba laptop that was upgraded from Windows 8. Users suggest that if the Windows 10 activation prompt appears, selecting "I don't have the key" will allow for activation via a Microsoft account once connected to the internet. It is noted that the Windows 10 key is not unique and cannot be used for activation. The Windows 10 license should activate automatically during installation, especially if the upgrade was legal. Users recommend checking the motherboard's serial number for activation and mention that a simple program can be used to retrieve the current serial number.
