Windows 10 Pro - VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T

I am interested to see if anyone is seeing a different product key for their upgraded system.


ETA:
Windows 10 Home Single Language - 7HNRX-D7KGG-3K4RQ-4WPJ4-YTDFH
Windows 10 Enterprise - NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
Looks like you are right, that matches both of mine home and pro.

I wonder if that means it would not work on a different system due to the system information being stored at MS....hmmm.

That must also be why you can 'skip' the key entry on installation and still have it install properly. (assuming the hardware has been registered at MS).
