Have you made any "system image backup" of the C:\ drive? Not System Restore.

Have you ever imaged your system to an external drive using Macrium or Acronis or something like that?

Or have you ran a cloud backup program like Backblaze?

Those are pretty much your only hopes of finding the recovery key.
No, I never created a backup image of the system from the disk because I only have one hard drive. There was no cloud backup either

It is useful!

Think about it for the future.

Personally I have OneDrive and Backblaze backing up the files on my computer. OneDrive only backs up documents and stuff while Backblaze uploads everything, and then on top of that I also have a custom Windows system image creation powershell script that images to my external drive, and also does a Windows Backup and Restore after it is done.

It's already saved my ass before after Codex accidentally deleted all the files on my C:\ partition, especially the Backblaze where I pulled my unpublished app's source code from, which I had thought was gone for good because I didn't push the git commits.
