Windows 10: Evaluation Copy

LyntonOrrett · Mar 4, 2019

This morning I turn on my laptop and on the bottom right hand side of the desktop it says " Windows Pro 10. Evaluation copy. Build 18342.19h1_release.190215-1528.

What is this? Do I need to do anything to get rid of it or is it safe to leave alone?

:)

what is an evaluation copy

Hi Mike, do you mean an evaluation copy of Windows 10?

If so, a evaluation copy of Windows is activated with a product key that will run out after a period of time. You will then need to purchase a full Product Key to permanently activate Windows . . . .

Do you think you are running an evaluation copy of Windows - this would be really unusual . . .
