Unlike many other versions prior to Windows 10, Microsoft's new operating system has been updated more than sold so many of us now have problems knowing the license key that our Windows 10 has. Something that can be useful and important to us if we want to perform a new installation or we simply want to change our old computer but we don't want to leave the license key and buy another one for the new computer.
For these cases, Microsoft leaves a door open for user can view operating system license key. This open door can be used through a command screen, something not recommended because it is for experts or we can use programs or mini-applications that do it for us in a more graphic way.
Within this type of applet highlights showkeyplus, a small program that will not only show us the Windows 10 license key but also it will tell us which Windows we are running, which is the previous version of the system that we have had and the license keys that the operating system has.
The License key may change in the upgrade to Windows 10
The ShowkeyPlus program takes up very little space and can be downloaded via this link. You do not have to pay anything for it but we will not have many more features since its size is also small. Perhaps the most important thing that remains for us to say is that the program allows save the license key in a text document to be able to print it and keep it safe or simply save it on a usb memory from where to access it in the immediate future.
The truth is that for many ShowKeyPlus it might seem like a hackers program but it really is not since there are currently many teams that for distribution reasons or company policy they have a different license key than the one we have on the sticker and that can be a hassle. Not to mention that when updating to Windows 10 our system has a different password than the one we had. In short, a sea of problems even for those that work legally, hence the practicality of this program.
