Well i build my first pc and installed windows on it. I found out i needed my product key to activate windows but I do not know how to get it.

If you bought your copy of Win legit, it should have come with the product key or activation key. Win 10? Where did you get the Win OS?

Where did your OS come from?
And which OS is this?

I bought my old computer in the store with windows 10 included.

And why do you need the license key?
A preinstalled Win 10 is probably the only case where that cannot be transferred to new hardware.

You may be out of luck. There are programs you can download like BellArc Advisor that search out the product key, but with Win 10, it will probably be a bogus key because the actual activation is encoded in the BIOS.

You most likely need to buy a new key for the new system.
