You can retrieve your product key before you wipe the drive using the methods previously referenced. This step is not necesary, possibly not usefull anymore or aleast i haven't needed to use it since last year in september or october but is there as a plan c for those of us that are paranoic and like to have plan b or c or d or whatever, also waste time, mostly the waste of timeĬlick to expand.As above, Windows Activation should recognize you.
Once you created the iso with that tool, or a usb with the files, inside you will find a tool called gatherosstate.exe in sources folder i think and copy it to your desktop and doubleclick on it, it will create a xml or a html file called genuineticket, don't remember which one, it contains the details of the license you have now for windows 10Ĭopy it somewhere outside that hard disk, then install with that same iso or usb deviceĪt the end of the install, when you have windows 10 and already logged in, if it is not activated, that file created by gatherosstate, the genuineticket can be copied to force windows to understand that it already had a valid license activated There is a paranoic step to force a activation that is download the windows 10 iso creator If it is reporting a generic serial key in windows and internet explorer that ends in 3V66T, you have the digital rights serial key, should be fine then to install, if still shows the old win 7, copy it The mention to recover the serial key is if you really want to have that number with you, you can't do anything with it now but if you want to keep it, keep it with those tools As mentioned previously, you don't need it if already upgraded to windows 10 via the upgrade program last or this year and you have digital rights already
