    Is my windows 10 licence genuine or not?


    I am worried that the product key I have is not valid and that it will eventually be revoked by Microsoft. I have done all the checks and it appears to be genuine. slmgr /dli shows that it is retail channelslmgr /xpr shows that the machine is permanently activatedAdditionally, the licensingdiag .xml file shows that the licence is GENUINEThe licence appears to be linked to my microsoft account according to settings.However the PID checker shows that it is an RTM Retail copy of Windows 10 Pro, does this mean it is a generic licence key that will expire? My original OEM key on the system remains

    :)

    Windows 7 not genuine problem

    It seems like that's an OEM windows copy, it will do that the every time you reinstall the OS. If you have the key, next time you see the "not genuine windows copy" click it and choose to activate by phone, everything else is pretty straight forward as it explains step-by-step. If it doesn't work, then its highly likely that you got a Pirate copy.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
