    technet activations & free Win 10 upgrade question


    Yes, that's normal. All windows 10 upgrades, regardless of where they came from show the same product key for the same edition if you use a key checker.

    Use Belarc Advidsor to locate the keys for your system. About two thirds down you will see a line for Internet Explorer, this shows your original W7 or W8 key. 2 lines lower you will see Win8 that will show the default key for W10 that all of us have. You need too be connected to the internet for Balarc Advisor to work.
