  1. Aquiring a Genuine Windows 10 Licence


    Hi all,where can I obtain a license to activate Windows 10 for my new PC build? I've notice Microsoft have stopped selling product keys from their site and MS Store, instead only offering Windows 11 licenses. I've heard rumors that Windows 10 and 11 keys are interchangeable, could I therefore purchase a Windows 11 Pro license from MS and use that to install and activate Windows 10? Many thanks

    :)

    Windows 7 not genuine problem

    It seems like that's an OEM windows copy, it will do that the every time you reinstall the OS. If you have the key, next time you see the "not genuine windows copy" click it and choose to activate by phone, everything else is pretty straight forward as it explains step-by-step. If it doesn't work, then its highly likely that you got a Pirate copy.

    Aquiring a Genuine Windows 10 Licence

    Is my windows 10 licence genuine or not?

    I am worried that the product key I have is not valid and that it will eventually be revoked by Microsoft. I have done all the checks and it appears to be genuine.

    slmgr /dli shows that it is retail channel

    slmgr /xpr shows that the machine is permanently activated

    Additionally, the licensingdiag .xml file shows that the licence is GENUINE

    The licence appears to be linked to my microsoft account according to settings.

    However the PID checker shows that it is an RTM Retail copy of Windows 10 Pro, does this mean it is a generic licence key that will expire? My original OEM key on the system remains and I will use it to restore my original edition of Windows 10 in the event things go wrong.

    Is it possible for a MAK/Volume key to disguise itself as a retail key? If so, have I likely been the victim of a scam?

    Thanks guys
