[Q] Windows Product ID Question
So, is the product ID the same thing as the activation key?
It's in the System option in Control Panel. I need to know because I'm going to have Microcenter put a new copy of Windows 10 on my new PC, want to make sure I have the right activation key for it.
Thanks!

Greetings,
The Windows 10 product key is 25 letters and numbers separated by dashes. If you aren't sure what your key is, you can look it up with ShowKeyPlus. https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/114-how-to-look-up-your-windows-10-license-key-using-showkeyplus
