Hey,
Nice video, but I think you missed something important. You only showed how to remove the key from the system, but you forgot how to remove the key from the registry also.
Here what you should have proposed for instructions:

Open command prompt as administrator by typing cmd in search.

Type following commands.

slmgr -dli (This will tell you the type of key you have.)

slmgr.vbs /upk (This will uninstall your key)

slmgr.vbs /cpky (This will clear any registry key with your licence)

Maybe it's time to update your video.
