Windows License Reads From Mainboard Not Kms
How-do-you-do Automaton94
I am Dave, an Contained Advisor, I will assistance you lot with this . . .
If there is a licence key embedded on a flake on your motherboard, that is an OEM licence put there past the system manufacturer
Illegal keys are normally kept live by an illegal KMS Emulator installed into Windows and if yous make clean installed Windows, you lot would have removed that emulator
Click your Start Button, type cmd then right click Command Prompt and cull 'Run as Administrator'
Run or paste this command and hit Enter:
slmgr.vbs /dlv
Please mail a screenshot of the resulting dialog . . .

If Windows ten is activated and so the hardware ID of the motherboard is registered on Microsoft activation servers. If you lot clean install the aforementioned edition, Home or Pro so it will autoactivate. It sound like you take a legit licence to me. The just fashion the licence is in the bios is if information technology put there by the manufacturer of the device, HP, Acer etc.
What makes you lot think it is not legitimate. To cheque the status of the current licence open up PowerShell (Admin) and enter slmgr /dlv press render and postal service a screenshot of the result.

What makes me think information technology isn't legitimate is that (a) I've never bought a Windows key since Vista; (b) this is a DIY system, not OEM, so it shouldn't have any product keys linked to the hardware (and if it does, then it should be legitimate). I don't think the cleft was a usual software scissure, I think maybe it was one that embedded a key into the UEFI/BIOS rather than messing with the software activation. Either that or it's using an OEM primal or something which is 'grey market place' and I want something completely legit.
Here's SLMGR (scribbled some stuff out):

How-do-you-do Dave, thanks for replying. I recollect the fissure that was used on this system wasn't the 'usual' sort of software cleft, but probably embedded the product code onto the system. Either that or it is an OEM primal that shouldn't be on my arrangement, which is also something I'd like to resolve.
I'1000 not using an OEM system, I'm using a DIY organization that I congenital myself, and has been upgraded many times (both motherboards/cpus/hard drives/SSDs, etc.). In fact, only recently I installed a brand new SSD, motherboard, and CPU, and installed a fresh legit version of Windows on the new SSD using a local account (so not tied to account activation). It all the same said the windows key is activated when I connected to the internet. Here's the screenshot:

Hi Automaton94
From that screenshot, somehow there is a full Windows 10 Retail licence associated with your Microsoft Account and that is what is automatically activating your PC when you re-install it . . .
Open the Settings App, go to Organisation - About, is it the Windows 10 Dwelling edition installed on your PC?

Yeah, it's Windows 10 Home edition. What I can't quite empathise is how it would activate when: (A) it's a fresh Windows install on a clean/new SSD without me typing in any product keys; (B) I didn't type in my electronic mail anywhere upon installation, and instead created a "local" account - I didn't link it to a Microsoft account at all.
The only explanation I can come to is that at that place is somehow a product cardinal embedded in my UEFI. Only I'chiliad not on an OEM system and so it must be illegitimate. Information technology also activates the same way on another PC that's besides had this illegitimate version of Windows on earlier. The verbal aforementioned thing happens, on a different Microsoft business relationship.
[edit]
So, to make information technology clear: I just don't understand how it's activating when my version of Windows isn't linked to any Microsoft account at all. I never logged into a Microsoft business relationship with this installation, I simply made a local account with a username, no electronic mail, and as soon as I connected to the cyberspace it said that information technology was activated (information technology said not activated before connecting to the internet).

It doesn't have to be linked to a Microsoft account, the hardware is registered on the activation server.
I never use a Microsoft account when I complete a clean install and it always activates.
Somehow the hardware has registered activation.

Hi Automaton94
I concord this is strange, but if Windows 10 contacts the Microsoft Activation servers after an install and it sends the unique identifier of that PC, which is generated from the hardware, and a digital licence is found on the activation servers, it volition self actuate, regardless of whether that licence is tied to a Microsoft business relationship . . .

Huh, okay, that makes sense. This unique identifier is linked to the motherboard, right? In which case, is information technology possible that the crack somehow put a 'fake' Windows product cardinal in the motherboard's UEFI and this is what'southward causing the effect? Or is it that somehow I'm actually using a legit version of Windows? Thinking dorsum, information technology might accept been that the croaky Windows was Windows 7, and information technology was then updated to Windows 10 with the free update. I can't quite remember, though. All I know is I don't think ever buying Windows ten, and I do call back my friend using a Windows USB for this build, which I don't believe was a purchased/licensed/legit re-create.
[edit]
Would a legit Windows fifty-fifty bear this way, though? I put my erstwhile motherboard and CPU in a unlike system, and got a new motherboard and CPU for this system, and in both systems on dissimilar Microsoft accounts Windows became "activated". If that's the way legit Windows systems worked and so surely someone could just continue building new systems and activating Windows on all of them infinitely just by having them "actuate" once on the original system.

Interesting. Information technology must exist quite the crack... I recently fabricated a second PC using new hardware, but the same motherboard and CPU, and so for the original PC I put in a new motherboard and CPU. And both computers registered as activated, while using completely new Microsoft accounts (or local accounts). So the crack must somehow be present in Windows and every bit presently as information technology detects new hardware information technology must register the hardware on the activation server.
