Re: Where do I find Windows 10 Pro product key?
Your answer is not helpful. Observations: The OP is almost certainly re-installing over the old disk. They are not experts and may not have another computer. It is extremely advanced to read the registry of a disk from another computer. What they needed to do (and it is too late now). Before the reinstall, get the key using the command line method. This might mean attempting a repair from installation media and dropping to X: (edit: good luck with this) Most people doing this are stuck in boot loops and have no chance in hell of using regedit. Use a NEW disk for the re-install. Find the original media, in many cases this is a Windows 7 product key.- Above all else, have a full disk or at least full partition backup less than a month old. Not everybody has a Microsoft account, they are a lot of trouble. It is July 2025 and the 2FA mess at the moment does not bear thinking about. I have over 20 Microsoft accounts and I would prefer to have none. At the point of having written over you previous install, you can elect to declare you are re-installing. This may or may not work, and may or may not be possible.5.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Where do I find Windows 10 Pro product key?
Actually smart people record them in just such files. along with bitlocker recovery keys. The people that *need* the product key *don't* have an OS. Treat them as cash, reserve bookshelf space for the media. Maybe also put them in Google Drive or an AWS S3 bucket, just to be sure. Getting into your Microsoft Account might be an issue if you can't.2.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Outlook deleting forwarded email
LeonPavesic My messages are not in deleted items, it looks like they get permanently deleted. I am not viewing conversations either, but this looks like de-facto conversation grouping. But more destructive. This has compliance and legal implications as records are being destroyed.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Cannot delete organisation from Teams
HelloBenTeoh"you may need to contact the organisation". No, not acceptable. Especially if I have been spammed in teams. This is the same as ransomware. In any case how would I know how to contact them? I may not want to deal with them. I should just be able to right click in teams and separate from them. The teams devs should just make this happen. Once again, another train wreck for Microsoft Accounts. Oh, and their splash page blocks me from changing to a friendly org so I have to restart teams.53KViews2likes5Comments
