ShowKeyPlus

Bit late to the parade here but

if you're motherboard supports UEFI 2.0, then it will support 32-bit and 64-bit UEFI installations.

The older UEFI 1.0 standard only supported 64-bit.

This isn't funny

I have seen many a software dev listen to what the users want, and in the end, the software turned into an overgrown bloatware monster

One example off the top of my head: Windows 10

So true!

It would be funny Cliff, if it wasn't becoming reality.

In the latest IP release (assuming it's feature complete now), Windows 10 S (Cloud) has beeen removed. Thus the reports suggesting S Mode, appears valid (it will most likely function as Kiosk mode did in Win 8 but with pre-set assigned access, that's my guess..)

The interesting bit, however, is that a new SKU has been added... Andromeda.

Code:

Rather than having different variants of Windows 10 which are based on the same core aspects, but are still different – like desktop Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, or Windows 10 IoT Core – the idea is just to have one version of the OS consisting of components which are fully modular.

Cortana's getting the boot!
And Windows 10 is getting a real AI/Microsoft Avatar Yooohooo!

^^^ LOL

I'm all for choices... I doubt they will give us total freedom, however, -- they always throw a spanner in the works.

Hi folks, just found this command, run in PowerShell, which shows the Windows 10 product key. Sorry, if this has already been posted. Tried, working and retrieving the embedded product key in OEM machine:

Code:

(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey

Best regards!

There are dozens of tools that will get the bios embedded key. Showkeyplus is so much more as it tells you what key has been used to install OS, what type of key, version, if oem, retail, GVLK etc.

If you have upgraded from 7/8 and not yet clean installed, it will tell you original key as well as installed keys etc.

In short, Showkeyplus is much more than a simple bios key extractor.

Dear Craig @Superfly,
In the zip file with the latest version of the program (x86-1.0.6594.38880 / x64-1.0.6610.42195), the two text files, “ShowKeyPlus.exe.sha1.txt” and “ShowKeyPlusx64,exe.sha1.txt” both contain the data of the 32-bit app “ShowKeyPlus.exe” version 1.0.6594.38880.

Maybe you could update the “ShowKeyPlusx64,exe.sha1.txt” file, with the correct data. :)

Oops ... uploading corrected file now. (It's a bit (pun..??) slow, the man on the Moon has faster up-speed... )

Thanx for the heads-up :)
