    Point is, I assume W10 Home SL should activate when the PC goes online. Right?

    But is there the slightest chance to not happen ?

    What am I looking for? The W8.1 OEM:DM key? If so, it's right there.

    The report should also tell you for what SKU it is meant for and what oem activations it should be able to do.

    A side question: Is MRP QT able to get correct and full info if run from a Safe Mode session?
    I mean this laptop is having issues to log into a normal windows session.

    Not tried in Safe mode, the Query Tool *technically* should run within safe mode, will look a bit odd due to size of screen resolution and the GUI part may not show when below 1024x768. But the text reports should still be created. Some results may not be shown due to the way Safe Mode works but majority of it will show (i hope) :)

    I know it not run if Powershell if running due to the quirks that can cause.

    The QT won't run in WinPE/WinRE as certain aspects are required such as .net and i think VC Libs of some sort. I will probably write a simple 'QT' that will operate in WinPE/WinRE modes, just have to see with time.

    Required.
    Many machines come with disks unable to boot, damaged or even without disk.
