The Generic key, also known as the default key, is provided by Microsoft for Windows 10 installations. This key allows you to install your desired version of the operating system without immediate activation.
The use of a generic key is especially beneficial when you need to evaluate or test various Windows 10 versions on a PC or a virtual machine, especially if you currently lack a valid product license.
Why Use Generic Keys?
- To evaluate the operating system without purchasing a license upfront.
- Useful for developers conducting testing on different versions.
- Aids in installations on virtual machines for simulation purposes.
