I have discovered that the Windows 10 64 bit KMS key (NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43) appears to work on ANY PC - ie Not just upgrades
Also it appears to have no restrictions/end date !!

    From what I know that this is a legitimate key to be used for setting up fully activated windows 10 KMS with the 10240 build that Microsoft allows people to use and start free trial period.

    When I open a CMD prompt and type "slmgr /xpr" I get a pop up Windows Script Host - informing me that the computer is in Notification Mode !!
    What does that mean ?
    (incidentally - this is on a TRIAL NUC - so not important)

    it is not registered with Microsoft , is this a new install? if so , go to updates and it will register ,


    is it showing as registered , if so you are on trial period
