Windows 10: Digital Lisence Removed after using KMS product key.

Hello everyone,

I am using a computer where I upgraded to Windows 10 using the free upgrade promotion. Everything worked fine, and I got windows 10 for free. However, I wanted to try using a KMS product key to evaluate windows on another device, but when I used slmgr, it deleted my digital lisence. How can I get my digital lisence back?

:)

 

Digital license & product key details

• Hi, I'm running Windows 10 already and received an upgrade notification from Microsoft but can't install it because I don't have the Product Key or Digital Licence details

 

Convert VLK/KMS -> Retail to Allow Auto Digital Entitlement Activation


I spent a day preparing a 10 Pro image for capture in a virtual machine intended to be deployed to numerous 10 Pro "digital entitlement" PCs upgraded from 7. I made the foolish mistake of using VLK media instead of retail media from the start. When I imaged the first PC, Windows activation rightly advises me it's unable to activate via KMS.

Now I'm left hoping I can overcome my mistake by file/settings adjustments to rip out my VLK/KMS mistake and successfully adjust it so that it will auto activate via the digital entitlements that all of these PCs have on file with Microsoft. (Ideally in the live virtual machine image so I can recapture/redeploy it, yet its worth knowing now to do it on an already imaged PC or the original install media)

One person suggested some utilities called KMS AutoNet or Microsoft Toolkit might be able to change the media type away from KMS to retail. I don't have experience with them just yet and below is info they output regarding the media.

I immensely appreciate advice as to overcoming my bonehead mistake.
