Windows can't read the parameter "product Key". Solved

Question

Hi everyone!  I have a problem: I recently changed my motherboard (MSI A320 Pro VD Plus) and processor (Ryzen 5) and I need to install Windows 10 in order to use them. A friend provided me with a bootable W10 key.  The issue is that when W10 starts the installer, it displays the message on the screen "" Windows cannot read the key parameter "product Key" from the answer file without assistance" and I can't get any further.  In the BIOS, I changed a parameter from AHCI to RAID (I don't know what that means). In RAID mode, the W10 installation menu starts correctly but this time, I can't find a place for the installation.  When I check the BIOS, I see that my PC no longer recognizes my internal hard drive, so I can't install the OS in RAID  Does anyone have any insights into this problem?  Thanks and have a great day! ;)

Hi  You don't need a license to install (though it's a different story for activation, you'll need one for that)  Just click on "I don't have a license key" at the beginning of the installation  The installation key is not valid, it seems to rely on an answer file for a silent installation  1 - Make your own installation key:  https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-35544144-impossible-de-demarrer-sur-la-cle-windows-10#11  2 - Change it back to AHCI unless you really set up a RAID in the BIOS of the machine  Unless you have a basic OEM Windows 10 PC, which doesn't seem to be your case, there is no license on the motherboard

Good evening, Maybe a starting point... The product key is linked to the license for Windows 10 for activation, this license is found on the motherboard, since you changed it, the installer can no longer find it... At least I think there is a connection between the two... (This is a supposition).  Wait for other opinions... The enemy is stupid: he believes that we are the enemy when it is him!

Hello,  In the BIOS, I changed a setting from AHCI to RAID (I don't know what that corresponds to). In RAID mode, the W10 installation menu starts correctly but this time, I can't find a place for the installation.  There's not much point in switching to RAID (it allows for disk mirroring). More info: https://forums.commentcamarche.net/forum/affich-14465752-disque-sata-en-raid-ide-ou-ahci https://www.malekal.com/disques-sata-raid-ide-ahci-windows-10/ Basically, there shouldn't be any performance loss when switching from one to the other, so it's not a big deal.  Also, know that if you install in one mode and then change, Windows will throw a BSOD Inaccessible boot device. You will then need to reinstall Windows in the new mode or revert to the previous mode. (it should be possible to change modes without reinstalling, but it's complicated).  ~~  As for your Product key error, try this: https://www.malekal.com/installation-windows-10-windows-ne-lire-parametre-fichier-de-reponses-assistance/  ~~  Furthermore, if your computer was originally a manufacturer's computer and you change the motherboard, you lose the OEM license you had when you purchased it. You will need to buy a new license.
