Fuck you Windows 10 Activation I should not have to use a phone system to reactivate after losing $100 already due to needing a motherboard swap 😡

I heard Microsoft give out Windows 10 for free.

@mr-user for a limited period

Before you wipe your hd next time, safeboot on a test bench and run this to dump your key:

wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey

@SortOfTested Fortunately I live in a country where Microsoft sell Windows copies cheap.

It's more expensive to buy a decent dinner than to buy a Windows copy.

@SortOfTested I am renaming you to SortOfOnCrack ;-)

There's "tricks" to get it working. Arrrr me matey ;)

@SortOfTested You can also turn your key into a numeric one by linking your PC to Microsoft's servers. Then when you want to upgrade your computer or reinstall windows you can simply link your your installation with your outlook/live/hotmail address

@SortOfTested oh yas Very Nice!

@mr-user she was making a reference to the Borat movie

@Jilano Either link it with your account or stay on the cracked side.

Except you like to give Microsoft every penny they get for your Russian license key 🙄

And that's why I bought a boxed copies aka. Full Packaged Product (FPP) and not Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) licence for both my desktop and notebook. It is more expensive but I am free to install it on any computer as long as I only have it installed on one computer at a time.

HWIDgen is a solution.
