I had to replace the motherboard on my HP 15 Notebook computer.  I reinstalled Windows 10 but need to transfer the Win10 key from the old bios.  All I have is a picture of the bios boot info screen that shows the feature Byte string.  How do I get the Win 10 key?HP-15-BiosScreen.jpg

The only way I know of to get the key is by running one of the utilities like> ShowKeyPlus which must be run while booted into Windows.

Btw- the license key is tied to the original motherboard and is not a legal option to move it to another.
