    Here is where to find win 10 key#
    use run and type regedit go to the following
    hkey_local-machine
    software
    microsoft
    windows nt
    currentversion
    background model
    software protection platform - when you click on this you will see backup product key default and there you go.

    And this is after you have done the upgrade :icon_biggrin::director::wavey:

    You can go to microsoft - windows 10 and download the media creation tool there's a 32 bit & 64 bit one for witch ever windows OS your running after download run program it will start win 10 download and ask if you want to put it on a disk or usb or run the upgrade if I remember it right and when you have done the upgrade you can rerun program and put iy on a DVD or USB DRIVE and do a clean install.

    When I get my PC up running again here im just finishing a clean install of win 10 I will put the 2 file in the UT4 file browser for everyone :eh::wavey:

    They are there now

    Really don't need your key unless you didn't upgrade first. Once ungraded my understanding is your MAC address is stored with Microsoft. But if you upgrade your machine.. This would be the only time you would new your key?

    It was a clean install onto my mac, it's not registered, I see the backup key but it doesn't like it.

    You need to convert back with win7. Than do upgrade! Once the upgrade is done.. Your machine should be activated. Than you can do a fresh install and won't need a key!

    I have found that the key that come's from win 10 upgrade is the same key for every body if you have win 10 pro is one key and home gets a different key but there the same key for all upgrades
