Windows 10: Settings triggers PROVIDE PRODUCT KEY nag, 6 yrs ago I said a PC should not be sold without...

Hi everyone, here's one for you, I hope I'm in the right spot to get the most possible pinpointed help in the area needed. Every time I access anything to do with a Windows 10 Professional x64 settings area/window for system settings I get a nag error dimming my desktop and it says to enter my product key, not the one that came with the downloaded Windows 10 Pro x64 I got a couple weeks ago to remedy the many issues I was having, all fixed, until today, it even warns at some point it'll not let me choose CANCEL, I'll have to provide it "SOON" as the warning says, ain't that just peachy?I knew

Product key association disable on old pc

Hey,


I sold my old pc to a friend. He installed some missing parts (HDD, GPU and RAM). Then we installed Windows 10 Home 64-bit version from USB stick. I was surprised to see that windows was automatically activated after that. I did some digging and found out that it is using my product key, which i use now in my own new pc. My friend does not have his own product key, the idea was that he just uses the unactivated windows with limited features.


I uninstalled my Windows 10 product key via command prompt in friends computer (as i understand this is only local solution, if he reinstall windows or clicks the active button, it reactivates automatically with my product key) and now it says windows is not activated, but my product key is still shown with Produkey app in his pc. So far windows is still activated my own pc.


My questions:

1. Is this all i need to do?
2. How do i get rid of product key showing still with product key showing apps on my friend's computer?
3. Is there a way to get rid of association of my product key on that old pc that i sold to friend?

EDIT: I originally installed windows 10 via upgrade option from Windows 7, if that matters.

 

Vista Product Key Question. (Legal)

hmmm... I'm not sure then. If none of your listings have been deleted before, you can list it and if it's not within their rulse, they'll delete it and email you with no effect on your account (unless they changed that form 2 yrs ago)

 

Product Keys sold online

Are Microsoft Office and Windows Product Keys sold online legitimate? Sellers claim the keys are from Microsoft and completely genuine but surely that cannot possibly be the case? All comments would be appreciated.
