Embedded product keys, win 7, 8, and 10, tools to show key in bios. 'The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Fixes an issue in which you cannot activate Windows Embedded POSReady 7 by using a Multiple Activation Key if Internet access is not available.
Hello,
We have some HP PC's that came with Windows 10 embedded, we created a Windows 7 software image and applied that to the PC's. However although we were able to license one PC, the remaining PC's are not finding their license key in the BIOS as the first one did. I believe the image has transported the license details from the first PC as when we attempt activation it says that we cannot use this product key. I attempted to unpack the license using the slmgr commands, however now in the activate windows section of computer properties it just says Product ID Not available and doesn't allow the option to change the product key. I have tried manually restarting the Windows activation service as well. I basically need the remaining PC's to find their license key in the bios if anyone can give me any guidance on how to acheive this?. I have ran MGADiag and it produced the following report.

Windows 7 Embedded Download
I need some assurance and documentation that when Windows 10 says it is activated it is actually legally activated. This is in a corporate/commercial environment, so we need to make sure this is correct and proper.
Windows 7 Embedded Standard
The computer in question is a Dell Latitude E7440. Originally it was Windows 8 with downgrade rights to 7. It had Windows 7 Pro installed and activated. Because it came with Windows 8, I assume it has the embedded key in the UEFI/BIOS.
We purchased Windows 10 keys specifically to upgrade older computers. Watch the mentalist full episodes. This laptop was imaged with Windows 10 Pro. The image was created with the official Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. The intention was to use one of the purchased keys to activate the newly imaged laptop. However, after the image and initial setup, the activation screen indicates that Windows 10 is activated with a digital license. We never needed to input a key.
From my understanding, officially from Microsoft, the 'free upgrade' period ended July 29, 2016. That is why we are questioning this seemingly 'free upgrade.'
Is there any documentation or legal license agreement that would prove that this is in fact a fully licensed and legal copy of Windows 10? We need to prove this to our legal department. All over the internet there are reports that this still works and is functional, but there is no official word from Microsoft.
