How to know for sure if Windows 10 is Genuine?


If the 10 upgrade there is activated it no longer concerns how genuine the previous Windows installation was since now the genuine 10 is activated on that machine for the life of the machine itself. Here coming from a genuine upgrade followed by a clean install it simply shows "Windows is activated" when bringing up the change product key screen going by way of "Start>Settings>System".

If you upgraded to 10 by way of the Media Creation Tool then you know immediately 10 came direct from Microsoft! The activation only takes place on the genuine item. The new key? or is it the new hardware profile ID being the automatic replacement for the otherwise older must enter product key? It suggests the latter being a free upgrade which actually generates a new key of it's own each time 10 is installed unless buying the 10 usb stick outright that comes with it's own separate key.

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?

I just did a deployment last night with a fresh 10 install using the newest ISO and a 7 Pro key, worked like a charm. Glad yours worked for you as well. *Toast :toast:
