    W10 activation on an iMac


    Hi
    I know HOW2 find my W10 key on a HP laptop
    KeyFinderInstaller

    I have some, simple single lines of code that will list the same value for your Windows 10 Product Key…
    W10 Using cmd.exe as an Administrator (copy and paste accordingly).

    wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey >> c:\ProdKey.txt
    Creates a text file called ProdKey.txt on your C:\ area.

    Next is a PowerShell command, as Administrator...
    (Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey
    but it will run within W10 using cmd.exe as an Administrator.
    powershell (Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey

    Last, but not least....
    L: [email protected]:~$ sudo cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM | strings | tail -n 1

    But common wisdom is that the Key is stored in the BIOS, so how do I access that after a clean install?

    Is the iMac BIOS going to be accessible, and is the W10 KEY actually stored in there?

    :)

  2. W10 Key storage?

    Hi

    I HAD W10 running on an iMAC under BootCamp and while attempting an upgrade to High Sierra the W10 install does not boot.

    I want to re-install and need to know my Activation Key, where is it stored on my iMAC?

    Before I delete or damage anything.

    W10 activation and motherboard failure.

    Hey, wasn't sure what section to put this in.

    Motherboard died yesterday, managed to source a replacement but I believe I am correct in thinking that once I swap the board W10 will deactivate itself and demand I buy a new copy?

    If so, would I be able to get around this by booting the system with a spare HDD, installing W7/8, upgrading to W10, then connecting the original drive (so the MB has been used/activated with W10)?

    Thanks.

    Important W10 activation key questions left unanswered by Microsoft

    Yup! I saw it in there this morning. I really like this new activation route they have gone so far. Super easy to maintain.
