As long as you have hardware that is whitelisted in MSFT's system as having been upgraded from genuine Windows 7/8/8.1, you can activate using this generic key. The 3VXXX product key is a generic key assigned to everyone who upgraded from a genuine version of Windows.

ĮDIT 3: I was able to clean install AND activate the 10240 ISO with the 3VXXX product key that I found, however others in this thread seem to report having the same key, so I speculate two possibilities: Going to attempt a clean install with the ISO that was posted in the other thread, with just this key.

EDIT: Still activated after stopping insider updates!ĮDIT 2: I was able to recover my full product key using ProduKey.
#Pro 10240 update#
I can also stop insider builds in advanced Windows Update settings! Rebooting now to see if I'm still activated after doing so.

This will confirm once and for all the question of whether people with insider builds who didn't upgrade from Windows 7/8/8.1 got a free license. If you didn't do an upgrade install from a previous version of Windows to the Insider Preview, check slmgr /dlv and see if there's an expiration date and see if your key is still a generic key. Run slmgr /dlv in a command prompt to see your partial key.
#Pro 10240 for windows 10#
I upgraded from a genuine Windows 8.1 to Build 10162, and I seem to have gotten a unique product key for Windows 10 now that I'm on Build 10240.

Still don't know the behavior on Insider systems that didn't upgrade from 7/8/8.1. So if you upgraded from Win 7/8/8.1 Pro to Windows Insider Preview Pro and you want to clean install RTM, it should be safe to use the ISO posted in the other thread and this key to activate. Seems like it will activate any computer that is marked in Microsoft's system as having been upgraded. For Pro, it's VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T, thanks /u/plectid. They will be serviced with monthly quality updates for 18 or 30 months from the date of the release, depending on the lifecycle policy. After you successfully complete an upgrade, Microsoft will have your HWID stored in their activation servers you can just skip product key entry during clean installation later (you'll automatically be activated under the generic key).ĮDIT 4: It is a generic key. Beginning with Windows 10, version 21H2, feature updates for Windows 10 release are released annually, in the second half of the calendar year, to the General Availability Channel. Even if if your 10 Preview wasn't an upgrade from 7, 8, or 8.1 and even if you disable Insider builds: this is contrary to what Microsoft said. In as much as there IS an RTM build of Windows 10. Windows 10 Build 10240 is the 'Release to Manufacturing' build of Windows 10.

It’ll be interesting to see whether or not Microsoft can deliver yet another culturally defining moment with Windows 10.EDIT 5: The popular theory online seems to be that as long as your hardware was legitimately updated to 10240 from an activated version of Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 Preview, you will have an activated Windows 10 RTM. Windows 10 Build 10240 is what you’ll find on Windows 10 PCs. We’re living in an unprecedented period in which technology is now a very personal experience that has reshaped society in ways that few could have predicted. Windows as a service is a bold concept but one that suddenly seems entirely plausible.Īs we write this, Insiders in the Fast and Slow rings are already receiving their copy of the "finalized" Windows code. Microsoft has publically stated that Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows as it transitions from big releases to incremental updates. The Redmond-based company is taking a radically different approach with its new OS. With Windows 10, Microsoft is no doubt hoping to hit another grand slam. That operating system was a monumental step forward that helped drive home the concept of personal computing to the mass market. Sources say Microsoft could announce its RTM status by the end of the week or simply choose to forego the tradition to focus entirely on the consumer launch.Ĭoincidentally, it was almost 20 years ago to the day that Microsoft released Windows 95 to manufacturing. The milestone means Microsoft can now start sending copies of Windows 10 to OEM partners to install on new devices. The company has selected build 10240 as the final release to manufacturing (RTM) copy according to sources familiar with the matter as reported by The Verge. Microsoft has reportedly finalized Windows 10 ahead of its July 29 release date.
