How do I delete my activation key in Windows 10?

This method of removal may not work if you have the key embedded in your BIOS! The operating system itself automatically grabs the license code at boot! In this case the key can only be changed, not deleted.

You can deactivate the key in Windows 10, only in an account on a computer with Administrator privileges.

Open the command line:

1. In the lower left corner find and click on “magnifying glass”
2. Type the word “cmd”.
3. Put the cursor over the “Command Line” application.
4. Click on “Administrator” to open it.

Key Removal:

Type the command slmgr /upk and press “Enter”

Removing the key from the registry:

Enter the command: slmgr /cpky

Checking for key removal from Windows:

Enter and press: slmgr /dli

After you go to "Activation" in the settings of the wind, press troubleshooting and the wind will activate itself again!!!! So nothing here is completely deleted!!!
