    • Click on the magnifying glass(Search) icon located in the bottom left corner of the taskbar, and search for: "Settings".
    • Click on the "activation" Section.
    • if your windows 10 is genuine, it will say: "Windows is activated", and give you the product ID

    Hi,

    You can perform Windows genuine validation via Settings. Just go to the Start menu, click Settings, then click Update & security.
    Then, navigate to the Activation section to see if the OS is activated. If yes, and it shows "Windows is activated with a digital license ", your Windows 10 is Genuine.

    For your reference:

    Hope above information can help you.

    Hello,
    Activated does not always mean Genuine. Activation and genuine are two separate processes
    open an Elevated CMD prompt
    Run Licensingdiag.exe
    this will generate a cab
    Open the cab file Using explorer ( click on it in explorer, it should open.
    Extract the SPPDiagReport.xml
    Look for this line: <LocalGenuineState>SL_GEN_STATE_IS_GENUINE</LocalGenuineState>

    That will tell you if the machine is Genuine,

    Most end users do NOT have personal computers that display: Windows is activated using your organization's activation service.

    Is this a personal computer? business? education?

    A log collector and scripts can run to check piracy / crack.
