    I used a key when I "upgraded" from Windows 7 A proper OS to Windows 10 spyware and have the genuine MS sticker that the key is on taped to my computer.

    Out of curiosity, I installed the app ShowKeyPlus, and it reports a different key than what I entered, yet Windows is fully activated and running properly.

    The question is, why is it showing a different key, and will this affect me if I need to reinstall windows? Such as if I upgrade to a better drive

    :)

    TC, try these steps - Add: extra steps · Issue #14 · -Inc/ShowKeyPlus · GitHub and let me know if errors still occur, I only tested it once in a fresh VM before releasing TBH.
    Hmmm... please confirm with them ( Chrome is installed to Program Files per their MGAdiag report - unless that is Chrome x64, which is a bit unusual?)

    Strangely enough, I'm busing adding version and architecture as suggested by @topgundcp recently.

    .. unless the cert is installed manually : This guy provided the steps at Git
    Add: extra steps · Issue #14 · -Inc/ShowKeyPlus · GitHub

    Once it's in the Trusted Store it will show as "OK"

    I signed the exe with the developer cert hoping to bypass the smartscreen nag to unblock... but outsmarting smartscreen is no easy task it appears...

    Certs and I have a love-hate relationship since the good old days...

    So, as Alphanumeric suggested, I am posting also here my problem with Windows 10.
    Let me shortly recap:
    • I have this Teclast tablet with Androdi Kitkat and Windows 8.1 (later discovered that is Windows 8.1 with Bing, aka Windows 8.1 RTM CoreConnected). I've saved the serial number
    • I would really like to update to Windows 10, but, as suggested from user of Teclast Tablet in some forums, updating directly from Win8.1 would make the tablet laggy, so I formatted it and tried to make a clean Windows 10 HOME install (taking the ISO from Microsoft MediaCreatorTool)
    • While installing Windows10, it asked for the serial. I inserted the saved one (from the preinstalled Windows 8.1) and it said that is not a valid serial
    • Then I tried to install Windows 8.1 again (always taking the HOME version from MediaCreatorTool). While installing it says that the serial is not valid again
    • Then, as suggested in this forum, I've checked the saved serial with ShowKeyPlus, and it says that is a serial for Windows 8.1 RTM CoreConnected OEM: DM

    So now, what can I do to have an activated Windows 10 version, or at least an activated Windows 8.1 version?

    Thanks in advance again
