    Serial Key Vs Product Key

    Hi guys,

    another question, I was looking for my windows 10 pro serial key and downloaded the Microsoft genuine advantage tool.

    It shows my product key, which contains 5 sets of random letters and numbers.

    I also have a program which displays system information. This doesn't show my product key, but shows a serial key, which is different to the product key.

    What I would like to know, is why do I have both?

    I asked a question in a separate post on whether I could clean install my windows 10 pro as I am getting a new motherboard and cpu as the one I currently have is faulty. Someone said not if it is an OEM. I have checked and cannot find any reference in the
    product key that it is an OEM copy.

    If I use the product key or the serial key, will it still activate?

    Please someone clear this up. I don't really want to fork out for another copy of windows 10 pro if I don't need to.

    Many thanks in advance

    Tony

    Serial number

    Ihave mistake change my serial number, can I recover back it?

    Before that my computer is the window 10 home version, and It was activated.

    Then I mistake change my serial number and upgrade to Window 10 Pro .

    I get the product key from the Internet, but the product key cant activate.

    So, I regret for my action. Can I recover back to my previous Window 10 Home which is activated?

    Or there is any alternative way to solve it?
