generic key windows 10

it is normal that after upgrading to windopws 10 I have a product key generic - VK7JG NPHTM - C97JM - 9MPGT - 3V66T ?

Hi,

-How did you installed Windows 10?

-Is it an upgrade or using an ISO?

If you skip the product key while installing Windows 10 a generic product key will be provided. However, you have to activate it using a retail product key.

For more information, refer to the link.

Same issue here. Fresh install of Windows 7.1 Pro (Activated) just for upgrading my Key. Upgraded to Windows 10 with MediaCreationTool's build in update function. Windows 10 is now installed and activated but i have the same generic key ending with -3V66T :(

Tomorrow i get my new 1TB SSD. I hope i can do a clean install of Windows 10 with that key.
