Win10 - product key obscured!
This may sound a bit absurd but having devoted nearly 2 days getting a new Win10 installation fully updated, I now cannot read the product key to activate the system.
The reason being that the 'MICROSOFT' security sticker covering the key has left a glue residue that's tougher than old boots. Apart from the first two blocks of characters it's impossible to uncover the remaining glue without destroying the key.
Microsoft refuse to engage in chat on the issue without the key. I believe this a genuine Microsoft product as it came in a security closed packet purchased for decent money from a reputable UK supplier.
Anyone else experienced this problem with MS products? Thanks for any advice.
