Windows 10: NVME disks serial number is abstracted in windows VM

NVME disks serial number is abstracted in windows VMHi Team , I see that VMware is abstracting disk serial numbers for nvme disks and is presenting generic number like VMWare NVME_0000 for all the nvme disks mapped to windows VM. Is there any utility where we can get the actual disk numbers?PFA GetPhysicalDisk output. we need the disk serial number to talk to VMware to get the actual namespace UUID to talk to storage layer. can someone please guide here?

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...

Is there any way to get my NVMe boot drive numbered as disk 0 in Windows 10?

Is there any way to get my NVMe boot drive numbered as disk 0 in Windows 10? I've got four SATA disks that I disconnected during the install process but now they're reconnected Windows has decided my boot NVMe drive is Disk 4 and Task Manager lists the drives in a really strange order and I'd prefer them to be alphabetical.

Alternately is it possible to reorder the way they're displayed in Task Manager, possibly using a registry edit if necessary?
