    showKeyPlus worked in one of my PC (upgraded from 8.1 retail to window 10)
    It can show the original Key of window 8.1

    But showKeyPlus doesn't work on my another PC (upgraded from window 7 to window 8 to window 8.1 to window 10)
    The product Key that it shows is "BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB"
    Hello superfatball, :)

    Is the other PC activated?

    I notified the developer of ShowKeyPlus to see if he may have any ideas what could be causing this.

    He says that it's because it is a MAK activated installation - those get removed from the registry for security reasons.

    I'm afraid not with a MAK key since it's not there to be read.

    What does the activation screen show? Does it show a digital entitlement?

    Hello bayusteve, :)

    If it's a retail Windows 10 key, then yes.

    If this is for a free upgrade to Windows 10 instead, then you could link the digital license to your Microsoft account and use the Activation Troubleshooter to activate Windows 10 on the new motherboard.
