Finally someone with a straight up tutorial without any stupid commentary! thank you so much <3 I still don't understand how this isn't an option in Virtualbox's media manager
I have a question, is there a program that would find all the "product keys" to the software I have on the laptop? I'm going to be replacing my Hard Drive and obviously I'm going to have to reinstall everything but I haven't had any luck finding the keys? For the software. It's been years since I installed Them and I don't know what happened to the paperwork. It's obvious I'm not very organized..
My original Microsoft Product Key sticker below the laptop had faded and thanks to you I found my product key. However, when I try to use the key to activate existing windows, it says this is a default product key and cannot be used to activate Windows, can you please help me sir?
great video, still relevant, but my problem persists, i followed you through all of the steps.... im trying to do it for a linux virtual machine on my windows 10 host, when i turn on the machine, and inspect the space from the inside, it tells me i have 20bg of used space, but if i inspect the vdi file, its 50 gb big, and if i check on the virtualbox its settings its 50gb too from the 80 i dynmically allocated it, please help me with this problem
What is a "power shell"? ... VBS script did not work ... got an error message ... this is the 3rd attempt to recover my p-Key - of course nothing works - of course!
really useful video. thanks. just a small addition (to reduce typing). @1:26 - we don't need the .exe.bit. typing 'sdelete' is okay. Just like typing 'cmd' is enough
I cannot use Produkey Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Edge is blocking it because it has a virus on it so I can not get my window 11 key that I need to activate windows 11 and I can't retrieve my windows 11 product key. I do not recommend using this program if you have installed windows 11 and are trying to retrieve your product key to activate it.
