    Resetting my PC and Windows Product Key

    I was thinking of resetting my PC through the PC reset option on Windows 10, but I don't know if my windows product key will stay activated for windows if I reset it. Does anyone know if it removes my activation to windows when I reset it? I also don't
    know what my product key is. I might've gotten the free upgrade version when it came out. Thanks!

    Windows is not activated following "reset this pc"

    My latest rebuild was done using:
    • Reset this PC.
    • Don't keep files.

    I now see the conflicting output as show in post #16.

    Also I have a watermark on my desktop. Is this normal?

    Windows is not activated following "reset this pc"

    Interesting how the previous activation screenshot did not show the product key. Using showkeyplus I get:

    Update:
    I rechecked the activation screen and now see:
