Windows Activation (lemmy.world)

Hello people I have recently changed my CPU, Motherboard and RAMs so I was planning on reinstalling windows on my PC. Last time I installed Windows was probably or so 10 years ago and I can't remember for the life of me how I activated it.

Any recommendations on activating the new install? Or is it too much trouble nowadays and should I just buy a key?

Do they even sell it on DVD anymore?

They sell it boxed in retail with a sticker inside (like games have a steam code).
I think there exists a SKU with Win10 CDs
