Licence Key.

The following article will tell you how to run the slmgr -dli command.

This command will tell you what type of licence you have OEM, RETAIL, or Volume Licence.

Windows 10 and licence expiration and activation issues

I'd correct your statement slightly. Windows 10 Pro can be purchased with a retail licence but is often used by companies with a volume licence. The fact it is Pro doesn't mean it is always a volume licence, it could also be a retail licence.

If the retailer builds systems for customers they should give the option to buy Windows 10, Home or Pro. As I said before the licence for the Home edition is the better option for normal home users.

When you bought the system the invoice should have had the Windows 10 licence listed along with a cost and licence key. If it was just provided then they are not doing their job legally.

If you return the system to them be sure to make copies of all your personal files to external storage as they may wipe the hard drive to clean install.

You have the command to check the Windows 10 licence now so if they have the system back and "fix" it you can check again.

Hi csandreas1

Do you intend using that licence on another PC?

Log into your Microsoft Account online, do you see that Windows 10 Licence listed there?

If you see that listed there, you will be OK . .

Please Note, if you do intend to install that licence on another PC:

Is your Windows 10 licence based on an OEM licence (came pre-installed on a PC) or Retail (purchased separately to a PC)

If it is a Retail licence, then it will have transfer rights to a new PC or Motherboard, if it is OEM it will not . ..
