  2. Partial Product key not same as product key obtained from PowerShell command - Cannot activate Windows

    My PC was recently upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10. The original Windows 8 license was for Education.

    The partial product key given on the Activation Page is not the same as the product key obtained from Windows Powershell command.

    Where can I find the rest of the product key from the Activation Page?

    I have tried numerous steps without luck.

  3. Convert a Windows 8pro product key to a Windows 10pro produkt key

    Hi Andre,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

    I suggest you to Uninstall the license using the following steps.

    • Press Windows key + X
    • Click Command Prompt (Admin)
    • At the command prompt, type: slmgr.vbs -upk
    • Press Enter, this will uninstall the product key from the computer.
    Further on, install Windows 8.1 activate the copy with the product key on the new machine. Then again upgrade the same to Windows 10 using Window Update or Media Creation Tool.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Powershell Windows Product Key Enigma

    How to find my product key i used to install Windows 10?

    @FR : Listen don't know how useful, would be

    to display the "Product key" When according

    with the other poster above

    "Activating a VM will deactivate the existing install"

    if you still want to view and copy. Your product key

    Try it with - Power Shell as (Admin) using this command

    Run Powershell Command

    1. Open Powershell and type the command listed below

      powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey"
    2. Hit - Enter : your Windows Server product key

      will show up in the - PowerShell window

      Note : I suggest to : Copy+Paste the above, code into

      the blue - Powershell Command as (Admin) and press - Enter
