    Product Key ?


    This is just a question out of curiosity. Did anyone get asked to type in the product key? I saved it to a text file but I don't remember being asked for it when I installed Windows 10.

    Update Product Key using (Change Product Key)?

    Hi DarrellR1, yes inserting a new Product Key will change the licencing on the Microsoft Servers for your Laptop.

    The Digital Entitlement will be updated to match your new Product Key and if you ever need to install Windows 10, then it is the new Product that will be recognized as being attached to your laptop . . .

    Update Product Key using (Change Product Key)?

    Hi All.

    Can someone please tell me if the option (Settings > Change Product Key) will remove the previous license key and replace it with my new one, thus linking it to my new Microsoft Account?


    I have recently purchased a refurbished Ex Demo "HP Elite-Book Revolve 810 G3" Laptop with Windows Pro 10 x64 installed & registered to HP (Hewlett-Packard).

    I would like to remove all traces of their (HP) account and replace it with mine, now being the legitimate owner.

    Your assistance would be much appreciated.


    Regards

    It has pid.txt in the sources folder, thus automatically grabs the key from there.

    Product Key ?

    I also got a key when I downloaded the ISO but it also didn't ask me for one either.
