Windows 10: Windows OS genuine Licensing and Activation

How can I check whether my Windows OS key is genuine before purchasing? I have to purchase 32 Desktop PCs with the Original license.

Windows 7 not genuine problem

It seems like that's an OEM windows copy, it will do that the every time you reinstall the OS. If you have the key, next time you see the "not genuine windows copy" click it and choose to activate by phone, everything else is pretty straight forward as it explains step-by-step. If it doesn't work, then its highly likely that you got a Pirate copy.

 

How to check if Windows is activated using genuine license

Hi Sodalin Sen,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Ideally, if you are activating a copy of Windows, depending on how you got your copy of Windows 10, you'll need either a 25-character product key or a digital license to activate it. A digital license (called a digital entitlement in Windows 10, Version
1511) is a method of activation in Windows 10 that doesn't require you to enter a product key. Without one of these, you won't be able to activate your device.



To check if your copy of Windows is Retail or Volume License, you can:

1. Open Command Prompt
   
2. Type slmgr /dlv
   
3. This will open Windows Script Host window.
   
4. The “Product Key Channel” line item will show you if it is Retail or VLK(Volume License)
   

Usually, if you are not using a genuine Microsoft product key, you may start receiving notifications on your PC that the Microsoft software you're running may not be genuine or activated.

how to check windows 10 product key is genuine or crack

Hi Ritesh

My name is Freddys to check the windows license follow the steps below:

1. Open Command Prompt
   
2. Type slmgr /dlv
   
3. This will open Windows Script Host window
   

If it shows that the windows are activated till a certain date or it is not fully activated which means your Windows is either activated via organizations bulk purchased product key or it has been
activated using some kind of activation tool like KMSpico.

That isn't a genuine copy of Windows. Otherwise, it shows a license status: licensed without expiration time then is genuine.

See an example below:
