Hello!

I bought new Windows 10 Pro from GenuinePros and friend too. He tried to install his copy and it looks like scam - his words.

How to find if is Windows 10 Product Key true or scam without Windows 10 installation begin?

Thank you for fast support.

    Really I saw that link.

    Problem is that if I try to call Microsoft support, it offers me virtual chat. This I don't want.

    I need to check key or check seller if is Microsoft partner.

    Friend said that it is scam - how to ask seller about that? It is impossible if it is scam - seller will ensuring me that's true product key etc. to hide his fraud, if any happened.

    And I will not install during its process to get message "incorrect key".

    I hope that Microsoft support will take care of its Windows users.

    Hm, I downloaded PID checker, but you note  is valid - it is not Microsoft website, even - it is not Microsoft software.

    Are you aware of it?
