    Product Key ?


    This is just a question out of curiosity. Did anyone get asked to type in the product key? I saved it to a text file but I don't remember being asked for it when I installed Windows 10.

    It has pid.txt in the sources folder, thus automatically grabs the key from there.

    I also got a key when I downloaded the ISO but it also didn't ask me for one either.
