The product key is embedded. You can try the method mentioned on the following webpage...

I took an image of the default win11 installation just in case and then installed win10 after deleting the partitions. Win10 auto activated with the key installed in the BIOS/UEFI without any issue on my AM06 Pro.

That's interesting that the Windows 10 install activated. I've done clean installs of Windows 11 in units that came with Windows 10 and they activated, but with going to a prior version I wouldn't expect it to unless it had come with that prior version originally installed, which, of course, the AM06 Pro didn't. That's pretty darn neat! 👍

Maybe the keys they use in at least some of these units are for Windows 10, but because of the free upgrade thing with Windows 11 they can use them for new units that come with Windows 11 as well. Either way, it's still pretty neat.

I have a spare m.2 SSD. Maybe, just for the heck of it, I'll put it in my AMR5, install Windows 10 on it, and then see if it activates.

Can you confirm whether it is the original system? The original system contains a key, which can be automatically activated after networking. If you encounter problems that cannot be activated, you can contact the service specialist through the Amazon purchase order page.

I just bought the KAMRUI GK3 Plus Mini PC from Amazon and did a starlight-up follow the prompts install of Windows 11 and no product key.

Tried "wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey" and it just reported "OA3xOriginalProductKey".

Where else or how else can you get the key to activate Windows??

TIA

rob.seitzinger,

The Product Key is embedded in the BIOS. It's hard to decipher from your post, but are you saying that the Windows 11 Pro the unit came with will not Activate?

It will not activate and there is no key and it will not activate

rob.seitzinger,

I'd do what barry777 suggested, as in the "Get Product Support" button on the Order Details page for your order.
