I cleaned my laptop HDD and reinstalled Windows again. I bypassed the step where you insert the key. The script from the attachment gave me the key, but it keeps saying it's incorrect. It might be because the laptop came with Windows 8. Please help me out. Script.txt

You have Windows 8.1 installed, but the key remains Windows 8. If the key doesn't function, the installation might be outdated or corrupted.

The laptop was initially set up with Windows 8 and I recently switched to Windows 10 about two weeks ago. However, I had to clear the drive due to software issues.

This happens because the script retrieves the key from the registry on the wiped hard drive, which is now empty. The previous version was replaced by a fresh Windows 10 key. https://neosmart.net/OemKey/ This method pulls the key from your BIOS. I understand it's questionable, but it functioned for me.
