WTB: Windows 10 pro install key

[Dark12]

Hey squad,

I was repairing my friend's mom's laptop last night. HDD is dying so I threw an SSD in there. I am excited to see if this $28 dollar upgrade breathes new life into her 5 year old Toshiba that was taking nearly 5 minutes to fully boot up.

Anyway, I pulled the product key using the powershell command from her old install and I tried installing Win 10, but it keeps saying invalid. Even when I tried offline install.

Not sure what is going on there, but I figure I am not going to fumble with it anymore.

If anyone has a cheap OEM 7 or 10 key for a retired old elementary school teacher it would really make both of our days (and let me start my weekend sooner).

Thank you!

EDIT: Thanks pendragon1

Download HWIDGen and you're done in a minute. You then know how to use it and are never buying a Windows 10 key again unless you need it for legitimate Enterprise purposes.

Or just go to keysfan or urcdkeys, they sell W10 for around 10 bucks.
Or just d/l the W11 iso, load it offline, dont activate it. Its yours forever.
