So I am upgrading all of my computer components except for the cpu, ram and storage. Would I need to reinstall windows, because the company that built my pc did not give me an activation key.

Sorry if formatting is weird I'm on mobile at the moment.

There is no certain way to do it without installation media in Windows 8.

Yes, very likely you will need to reinstall Windows 8.

Do you have install media (i.e. an installation disk or image)? You will need that installer disk.

Your install key is probably in the bios like most OEM versions and you can often access that information using one of the free key finders like THESE.
