Windows 10: Windows Serial Key

How can I obtain the Windows Serial Key on a computer that is in the process of a Windows 10 recovery?

Windows 10 serial on OEM


So I'll summarize steps made...

1. Saved serial number (taken with Belarc Advisory) from preinstalled (half chinese language) Windows 8.1 (don't know exactly the version, suspect Windows 8.1 with bing) on tablet
2. Formatted tablet
3. Tried to make a clean Windows 10 (HOME, HOME N and also PRO, everytime with the same result) install with ISO taken with MediaCreationTool, during install (and also after completing installation) it says that the saved serial is not valid
4. Tried to reinstall Windows 8.1 (ISO taken with MediaCreationTool again) HOME, it says that the serial is not valid

So i suspect that the saved serial, is from a WINDOWS 8.1 WITH BING OEM version and this kind of ISO is not accessible/downloadable anywhere (at least I can't find it, any suggestion?)

Still not tried SHOWKEY with that serial, I am in office now, and the serial is saved on a usb pen at home, will try this evening.

So I'm stucked but if everything is like I suspect, it's incredible. If I have a tablet/notebook/netbook with Windows 8 preinstalled, it seems that I can update to Windows 10 without problems, but if I want to make a clean Windows 10 install that serial is not valid...

Windows 2000 Serial Key

Hi guys,

I have an old pruduction machine which is using an old software only supported by windows 2000 OS.

we reinstalled it and realized we don't have the serial key anymore so we cannot contact it.

Windows support suggested me to post here.

long story short:

Does anybody have an old Windows 2000 serial key I can use, or can refer me to a post/person who does?

my deepest regards.
