Product: Various HP Desktop Models
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Over the past few years we have purchased many PC's from HP with the "downgrade to Windows 7 Pro x64" option.    We want to upgrade all our PC's with a Windows 10 Pro x64 license embedded in BIOS from "Win7 downgrade" to Windows 10 Pro x64.  I assume these PC's have a Windows 10 Pro x64 license embedded in the BIOS.

How can I tell which Windows OS license is embedded in the PC BIOS?  I'm hoping there is a utility program...

 

Thanks,

John

Hi:

 

If the PC's came with W7 Pro with downgrade rights from W10, 8.1 or 8 Pro, you can use the utility that I zipped up and attached below to see the product key, and version of Windows.

 

Downgrade rights are only from a Pro to Pro version of Windows.
