Windows 10: System Information Activation status

Hi,


I am looking learn whether I can view the activation status of a windows installation using msinfo32, i.e. system information?


This appeared as a test question and the answer was yes, but I can't see it listed in system info.


I know there are other ways to find out if windows is activated, I am only interested in whether it is in msinfo32.

Thanks

:)
