The BIOS update should not influence the product key. If you are sceptical read the product key before the BIOS update and save it as a .txt file. Install RWEverything and then select access then ACPI tables... then get the key from the MSDM table.
Remove windows 10 product key from bios
How can I remove the Windows key from the DELL laptop BIOS ?? I bought a DELL Inspiron laptop with the HOME version system and I have purchased a Pro version. Is there a chance to change the key in the BIOS for the one I have? If not how can I delete it from BIOS ?? Please help
This removed the key and the cache from registry. However, my new laptop is still not accepting this key which I believe is due to the reason that this key is already present in the BIOS of my old laptop. I can still see this key by using this command:
As to whether you can access the table to alter or edit the Product key? I just found out about the product key in the eufi, we'll have to wait and see. I will follow up. The key is injected at the mfg not in Redmond so I'm thinking the mfg gets a tool. I will ask for one. But the oem should be based on GUID. if you add, remove, or replace any hardware device that is in the GUID, the computer will get a new GUId. This probably only applies to people who want to escape their OEM product key. I think the sound card, graphics card and network card and processor make up the guid. Just change one of them for a new number and you should be able to escape out of the OEM label.
If you want to "add" to the uefi to escape having to put in the key every time you install Windows, just make a system image of your windows and designate a hdd as a Backup location. Make the image after all the updates, drivers, and software have been installed. Making a second one at a network location is a good idea also. This will automate the entire installation. A send option is You can edit the wim file and stream in your product key. I think the file name is install.wim? not sure. I've heard of it but never tried. Third option is to make a deployment using an answer file. Basically the installation refers to a file that you prepare that holds all the information the Windows install needs. You can include other stuff as part of the install. The answer key is where you add the product key.
Both of these commands attempt to read your Windows product key from something called the OA3 BIOS marker. In other words, they may only work if Windows came preinstalled, and not if you built the machine yourself and installed/activated Windows.
I'm having a hard time finding and answer to this. If I had to hypotheitcally remove the Windows license key from a VM that's been specifically setup for a partner, and it needs to be removed before the VM is handed over, how would I go about doing this? Naturally the built-in 30 day grace period has expired and I'm using an MSDN license key, but I need to remove the key before handing the VM off. The recipient can input their own license key. e.g. how do I reset the Activation Key Wizard's nagging?
