So i few years back I was able to get all of my machines windows 10 keys by installing and KMS activating windows 7. You then did something along the lines as creating a genuine ticket, and used that ticket to activate a fresh copy of windows 10. Some time had passed and I am unsure of the best method of getting windows 10 without any extra hassle down the road such as re-activation or re cracking. I've seen the recent stickies, but I don't know if those solutions require activation maintenance.
Only specific upgrade paths get a HWID from KMS activated 7. All genuinely activated win 7 SP1 (including DAZ Loader activated) installs get a free HWID when, either upgraded to 10, or when the gatherosstate.exe route is taken. For those windows 10 Home (+N) and Pro (+N) "upgraders" it's stil for free.
Ah this clarifies some stuff for me thank you. I've been reading more posts and it looks like recent threads were suggesting the hardware ID route which I assume is just an automated method of what you explained.
Not really, HWID on the fly tools can activate almost all SKUs by DL, except LTSC, that one can only be KMS(38) activated. We can only discuss the officially supported SKUs (Home (+N) and Pro (+N)).
