Dig the content. I appreciate the M$ key tip. It's interesting you have the Superman neon sign but your haircut vibes Lex Luther. ; )

G'day Mike,
Thanks for showing how to uninstall product keys, that was something I have wondered about but could not find an instruction for.
For Activation Keys I use Belarc Advisor, it's free, doesn't set of Windows Security & gives you all the PC Hardware Specs + Software Licence Keys for every installed program. When I get an older PC once tested working I will run Belarc & save the Activation Keys to a Notepad, then go download the Drivers for all OS & Store them in on My Driver Archive HDD. Then if something goes wrong it makes it really easy to get back up & running using a USB thumbdrive.

Hi Mike,
Just the info I needed. I popped over to the PremiumCDKeys page, and the keys that are 4 euros are OEM, whilst an actual Retail key is 11 euros.
Out of curiosity, what would you expect the difference to be between the 2. I am assuming that the Retail key would allow multiple activations, i.e. when changing hardware etc. Whilst I would be concerned that an OEM key might tie itself to your existing hardware.

I bought a 2015 re-conmisioned office HP Z440 that had Windows 10 embedded in the bios. I recently added an HP Turbo pci-e nvme adaptor and a Gen 4 HP nvme. Done a fresh install and the speed was impressive. I have a Digital Licence but want to find the actual key if it exists. Thank you for the information 👍🏾

Hey I was wondering if this applies to windows 7 and if not how would I activate an old windows 7 computer and get it updated and then transition it to windows 10?
Would my computer be potentially too old to transition to windows 10? How would I find out and what would I do to save as much of the data in it as possible?

[magnusnilsson]

Super video, I will definitely share this. :D

[johnstancliff]

Thanks Mike! didn't even know this app existsed!

[Senrab]

Great tutorial. I did similar end of 2023 plus rechkd emails from premiumcdkeys. In the first example you showed the key (which alarmed me lol) but dont understand the note attached. Was that not a usable key? Luckily for me i had upgraded our laptop from win7 to 10 b4 it died of bios chip failure and had retrieved key, but now wondering if can be used🤔 ah kids have their keys attached to their ms accts courtesy of premiumcdkeys. Thanks Mike and Kath 🐈👍

Meanwhile in Linux.... Its galling people are still paying for Windows so Microsoft to then monetise their data and push adds.

Good video.

[tomdfrog]

Thanks! Any additional steps or gotchas if like many your original license was Win7? Most of my office PCs started out at Win7 licenses which were upgraded to Win10. They were Retail or System Builder Win7, not OEM supplied, as out PCs are all old Macs running BootCamp. I have always had serious fights trying to move the license to a new machine as an upgrade for the user. Sometimes I get it to move, some times it won't. And figuring out the M$ account it might be tied to (even though we do not use M$ accounts for anything) muddies.

PS: Mike,
🤔While I can't rattle them off at will that Key at 2:15 Show Key Plus says is embedded on your Motherboard triggered my brain, Turns out I have an ASRock Fatal1ty Z77Professional board that I bought 2nd hand a few+ years ago with the EXACT same Key for W10 Activation, NGL it 😲freaked me out a bit. When I got the Mobo Bundle I added an SSD & did W10 "I do not have a product Key" install letting it Auto Activate once connected to the internet.

I'm not Trolling, I'll send an email with screen photos to the channel mailbox.

I have a question.
If some activation keys built into BIOS, should it automatically activate windows if we do a format and reinstallation of windows?
Like formating windows, putting another OS and then again coming back to windows kind of scenario.

I kid you not I searched this topic yesterday and now youtube is serving me this video !
By the way I got both the key on my laptop 1) _Installed Key_ and 2) _OEM key_ . what does that mean?
