    Windows 10 Licensing


    I previously hired a Gold Microsoft Partner to manage my Microsoft cloud subscriptions for my small business. For multiple reasons I will not go into in this post, I ended my relationship w/ this MP. Once they were formally removed from being listed under the "Partner Relationships" section in Admin center, there have been some strange behaviors both locally on my machine, as well as within my cloud environment. It has led me to believe there is a POSSIBILITY I have no confirmation of this that this former MP installed/re-imaged not sure how to beset define a Windows 10 Enterprise license on my Dell laptop that potentially is not legally supposed to be imaged/installed on my machine. Also, for additional reference, my machine came with Windows 10 Pro OEM license. I am interested in the communities feedback on whether any of the following seem strange and/or would be considered a "red flag".


    1. command prompt "slmgr.vbs /dli"

    Name = WindowsR, Professional Edition

    description = WindowsR Operating System, RETAIL channel

    Partial Product Key = *****

    Licensed Status = Licensed


    2. Windows settings app --> System --> About

    Windows Specifications

    Edition = Windows 10 Enterprise

    Version = 20H2

    OS Build = 19042.906

    Experience = Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0


    3. Command prompt "wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey"

    Results = 25 digits


    4. Running this script here https://www.techspot.com/articles-info/1760/images/Win10KeyFinder.txt by copying it to notepad and saving as .vbs file and then opening the file

    Product Name = Windows 10 Enterprise

    Product ID = 20 digits

    Installed Key = 25 digits and DIFFERENT from the 25 digit key in the command run under #3

    Windows 10 upgrade license

    Hello guys,

    I have 1 license of WIndows 8.1 FPP/retail license. I want to upgrade to WIndows 10, but I one thing is unclear to me.
    If I upgrade, will WIndows 10 license be retail or it will "turn" into some sort of OEM license?

    I ask this because I upgrade my PC, you know, more memory, replace HDD, and I intend to upgrade the MB and CPU to Kaby Lake platform sometime in the future, (and of course sell the replaced hardware)
    This thing is not clearly mentioned anywhere.

    Thank you.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 upgrade license

    The interesting question is that: the upgrade takes place before 29 of July. If I upgrade the PC (change the MB), and I transfer the Win 8.1 license to this new PC (cause 8.1 is retail FPP), will I be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Or a upgrade license must be bought?
