At the recent Microsoft Cloud Roadshow here in Toronto, team CANITPRO was provided the opportunity to present best practices surrounding Windows 10 security, manageability and deployment.

During the session entitled Taking Advantage of the New Deployment Features in Windows 10 the following question was asked:

If you upgraded to Windows 10 for free from an activated copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, you should have a digital license instead of a product key. A Windows product key is a 25-character code used to activate Windows. This means, that if you do a clean install of Windows 10 on the same machine, after your previous upgrade was activated you can keep skipping entering the license key. From the moment the clean install of WIndows 10 is finished, the machine wil go online and reactivate automatically.

'How do you find the Windows 10 product key once the upgrade from Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 is completed.'

Now traditionally, all that is required to retrieve this information is using the inventory capability via the Mobile Device Management software of choice. Another option has been made available via third party applications. Be careful when pursuing this route as reports have come forward that some third party applications install adware/malware during the installation of the tool. In either case, what has been discovered in some cases using both methods is the key provided is actually a generic key akin to one of the following:

  • Windows 10 Enterprise: NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
  • Windows 10 Pro: VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
  • Windows 10 Home: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99

The trouble with using these keys, should you need to re-enter said key in future, is that it enrolls said Windows 10 installation into Insider Preview. While ok in a lab environment, Insider Preview could be troublesome in a production environment.

Enter Chris Goulard, IT Analyst and member of the #CANITPRO community on Twitter, with a solution via script to provide the actual Windows 10 key provide after upgrade. The script is as follows:

Set WshShell = CreateObject('WScript.Shell')
MsgBox ConvertToKey(WshShell.RegRead('HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionDigitalProductId'))

Function ConvertToKey(Key)
Const KeyOffset = 52
i = 28
Chars = 'BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789'
Do
Cur = 0
x = 14
Do
Cur = Cur * 256
Cur = Key(x + KeyOffset) + Cur
Key(x + KeyOffset) = (Cur 24) And 255
Cur = Cur Mod 24
x = x -1
Loop While x >= 0
i = i -1
KeyOutput = Mid(Chars, Cur + 1, 1) & KeyOutput
If (((29 - i) Mod 6) = 0) And (i <> -1) Then
i = i -1
KeyOutput = '-' & KeyOutput
End If
Loop While i >= 0
ConvertToKey = KeyOutput
End Function

Simply copy and paste the above script into a new notepad file. Name the notepad file what you wish, however change the extension from .txt to .vbs. Save and run the newly created Key Catcher on a toolset USB key or right on the newly upgraded machine itself and the true key will be provided.

In this Windows 10 guide, you'll learn five ways to bring up the Windows activation tool to change the product key on your computer.

Wrapping things up

While for the most part, you'll be using the Settings app to change the product key on Windows 10, if the option isn't available or if you're looking to create a script to change the product key on your computer, it's good to have different alternatives.

If you're trying to upgrade the operating system by purchasing a new license from the Windows Store, everything regarding the product key will be handled automatically for you.

Also, remember that you must be signed in with an administrator account to change your system's product key, and you'll need an internet connection to complete the activation.

In the case, you recently made significant hardware changes to your PC, and Windows 10 won't activate, you can use the Activation Troubleshooter to re-activate your copy of Windows 10.

Although this guide is specific to Windows 10, the Control Panel, slui.exe, and slmgr.vbs methods that we're showing you here will work to change the product key on Windows 8.1 or Windows 7.
