mrwoof:
unable to use " " in renaming .psi1 file, however do you mean in the powershell like so in full address path:

Import-Module C:\Users\Desktop\Mr\"GetProductKey.ps1". Get-WindowsKey

tried that adjustment, nada see attch

Boggin:
I got the same error as you but I saved mine to the Docs folder and used Import-Module C:\Users\KAM4\Documents\GetProductKey.ps1; Get-WindowsKey so I don't know why it worked in the article but not ours.

I'll see if I can find another method, but unless you want to do a clean install and I don't think a repair install will complete, it may be academic.

I think you are looking at either one of your Macrium images or the Reset option where you will need to reinstall any programs you will have installed.

Personally I would opt for a Macrium image.

Boggin:
I copied & paste this cmd (Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey form this article but got an error on my Win 10. https://www.howtogeek.com/206329/how-to-find-your-lost-windows-or-office-product-keys/

This could in my case be because the laptop originally came with Win 7 and the upgrade to Win 10 is digitally activated, although Speccy gives what appears to be a generic Win 10 product key.

mrwoof:
at this point I'll swap back to my original drive with 8.1 OS and secure data from SSD in USB enclosure. Odd thing where as I used Macrium to gen a back up some time back, I'v never gone thru the process of retrieving image. I'm assuming my W81.1 ISO (file type System Image disc ) which I have on an external drive is it. hmm..

Boggin:
No - you need to make a Macrium boot disk or USB to boot up with.

Open Macrium and click on the disk top left.
