No one here, or anywhere else, would have any idea regarding the activation key.

I was not aware that HP sold laptops with Win10 Education preloaded; I was only aware of HP selling laptops with Home or Pro preloaded, and those are already activated so you don't need a key.

Sounds to me like you got a bogus version of Win10 with the laptop.  So, if it were mine, I would return it and demand a full refund.

Hi, @asiya786 

I have a HP Stream 11 G4 notebook, and two HP 255 G7 notebooks that came from the factory with W10 Education Edition 64 bit.

If you install W10 Professional, W10 should not ask to be activated.

I've done it twice now on the Stream.

Just use the media creation tool to create a bootable USB installation flash drive and it should automatically find the product key, install and activate.

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

Run the free showkey plus utility that I zipped up and attached below and see if it will show you the product key and the version of W10 the key is good for.

it is possible that your notebook came with a different version of W10 than Education, so you need to check that out first.
