|
Answer» Hello everyone,
EDIT: from what I REMEMBER and know, my PC is running 64 and the Logfile from first picture (SrtTrail.txt) is located in system32, couldn't this be an issue? Again sorry for my POOR knowledge of OS Quote Command prompt - THE ONLY THING WORKINGCode: [Select]wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey Code: [Select]C:\>wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey OA3xOriginalProductKey 8xxxx-Jxxxx-Cxxxx-Hxxxx-Yxxxx(I redacted my product key!) All Windows, 64 or 32 bit, have a System32 folder.I tried that command but firstly i had to select which account should start command prompt. I've chosen mine that should be admin account, it's connected to my outlook account and protected by password. Strange is in command prompt i got X:\windows/system32> and I had no media named X (maybe it's some special directory on hdd for my account ? don't know)
So I tried that powershell way mentioned in link : https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/617124/use-command-prompt-or-powershell-to-find-windows-product-key/ POWERSHELL OUTCOME: https://imgur.com/gallery/ukWMHGB
Thank you very much for your time, I truly appreciate it! ThanksMirEso, your right. If you upgraded to Windows 10 during the free period, you don't have a product key, though you do have a digital license that you can access by signing into your Microsoft Account on a new computer. EDIT: When you did the free upgrade, you did not get a new 5x5 key for Windows 10, but your PC was assigned a digital license. If you need to reinstall Windows 10, simply start the install and you have an option to skip entering a key if you are reinstalling. Your PC will automatically activate after setup completes and you connect to the Internet; assuming your motherboard has not been swapped. Just to note: you can always download windows 10 straight from the official microsoft site here if you ever need or want a new copy: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Quote from: 2x3i5x on July 16, 2018, 12:01:27 PM Just to note: you can always download windows 10 straight from the official microsoft site here if you ever need or want a new copy: I already told him that.

How does microsoft associate a windows 10 license to a motherboard? Does windows put a flag in the NVRAM?No...it writes to the BIOS... I guess you could call it what you did technically...No writes to BIOS or NVRAM, I think. When first installed Windows generates a hardware signature - CPU, HDD,, mobile chipset all have unique serial numbers, that signature is sent to the. MS activation server and associated with the product key. |
