Windows 10: Validation of Windows 10 OEM License Key(s) prior to actual installation

Hi,


I'd like to ask how to manage to verify the validity of OEM License Key(s) related to Microsoft Windows 10 without prior to that having to carry out a conventional installation of the operating system [software]?


Best regards,

Question On OEM Windows clean install......

"Flavors" of Windows licenses

Windows can be a little "odd" about license keys. There are at least 4 categories:

• Retail
• OEM
• Volume (electronic download)
• Corporate (no key needed)

For guaranteed success, the license key and media should be in the same category. If you have retail media, you may not be able to install it using an OEM or Volume license key, even though the key is valid for that version of Windows. *Wtf :wtf: Apparently, this is part of Microsoft's anti-piracy scheme (i.e., all customers are guilty until proven innocent).

 

Question On OEM Windows clean install......

Yea, I got that part, was just wondering if the OEM disk/key part was broken down into further catergories, like vendor specific - DELL, HP, etc. ?

What about service packs? I have a retail XP SP1 disk. I recall seeing a way to make a new disk with all the latest SP's. Sorry, rambling off topic here...

 

Install Windows 7 with SPL key

so long as the edition is the same it should just be
slmgr -ipk key-key-key-key or slui 3
slmgr /ato
from a admin command prompt
else you may need to dig up a ''oem' iso and fiddle with the ei.cfg and or extract the oem cert from the recovery media for your vendor
honestly just install "Daz's windows loader" and set it and forget it
you already have a valid license its not technically pirating the COA/SLP key in the bios IS the license simply select the corresponding editions and oem brand in the loader and hit install
