    Windows 10 Product ID Changed, So Invalid Product Key .?


    Hello..

    I did a windows 10 reinstall on my Thinkpad Laptop after upgrading it to Windows 10 Home 20H2 (Build 19042.685). I did it previously, and my windows got activated automatically, but this time its not..

    I logged in with same Microsoft Account as previously, but its not activated this time..

    I got the Genuine Windows with the laptop only when i bought it...

    Before reinstalling i took backup of my laptop credentials with a tool..

    now i noticed that my Product ID is different then of the details i have in backup text file..

    I am afraid to ask, Is it possible that Product ID is changed. ?? (becoz as far i knw, its the hardware ID).

    Please guide on how to reactivate my windows..

    Rajat Jain

    product key/id

    Is the product key different from the product id?
    I have a 25 character key for windows and on the profile page it says product id with a different number. Then on the right it says change product key. This confusing.to me. Could you please explain in case I have to reinstall.

    Product Key


    Keys are not required for the upgrade process. Windows 10 has a built-in generic key which it uses to install - it acquires the underlying Win7/Win8 activation during the upgrade process and assigns your device ID as a valid Windows 10 activated device. Subsequent installs will thus activate using your device ID. You will not require a key - should you be prompted, select "skip". Activation is automatic thereafter.

    See step 6 here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...n-install.html
