To activate the Windows operating system, a special product license key is used. The Windows product key used to activate the system differs depending on the operating system version (Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, etc.), OS edition (Home, Pro, etc.), distribution method (OEM, Retail etc).

To activate the Windows operating system, a product key is used, consisting of 25 characters in the form of numbers and capital (upper case) English letters, divided into 5 groups of 5 characters: “XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX”.

Laptops used to often have a Windows activation key stuck to it. Currently, laptop manufacturers with pre-installed operating systems embed the product key into the BIOS to automatically activate Windows.

If the system is reinstalled, or for some other reason (for example, activation failed after a hardware failure), the user may need a Windows product key. How to find out your Windows activation key?

You can find out the license key of installed Windows by running a special VBS script, as well as using five programs: ProduKey, ShowKeyPlus, Free PC Audit, Speccy, AIDA64, SIW. All listed programs are free, except AIDA64 and SIW.

The script with the extension “.vbs” and portable free programs (ProduKey, ShowKeyPlus, Free PC Audit) can be downloaded from here. Download the rest of the programs to your computer from the official websites of the manufacturers.

Incorrect product key

When checking keys using the methods listed above, the Windows product key may appear as follows: “BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB”.

This means that your computer is activated with a corporate MAK or VLK key. The Windows operating system does not save such keys, so programs do not see them.

Windows 10 uses a new system authentication method (not available for all cases on Windows 10). The activation record is stored on servers and is not displayed on the computer. After reinstallation, Windows activates itself for some time.

Maintaining the license depends on changing the computer hardware configuration. If the motherboard is replaced, Microsoft activation servers will revoke the license for that computer. Windows will prompt you to purchase a new product key.

Identifier or ID is a unique code that any equipment connected to a computer has. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to install a driver for an unidentified device, then once you know the ID of that device, you can easily find a driver for it on the Internet. Let's take a closer look at exactly how to do this.

First of all, we need to find out the ID of the device for which we will look for drivers. To do this you need to do the following.

Looking for a driver by device ID

Once we have found out the ID of the equipment we need, the next step is to search for drivers for it. Specialized online services will help us with this. Let us highlight several of the largest of them.

Method 1: DevID Online Service

This driver search service is the largest to date. It has a very extensive database of known devices (according to the site, almost 47 million) and constantly updated drivers for them. After we have found out the device ID, we do the following.

We will not describe the driver installation process itself, since all of them may differ depending on the device and the version of the driver itself. But if you have any problems with this, write in the comments. We will definitely help.

Method 2: DevID DriverPack Online Service

Be careful when downloading drivers by device ID. There are many resources on the Internet that offer to download viruses or third-party programs under the guise of the driver you need.

If for some reason you cannot find out the ID of the device you need or simply do not find the driver by ID, then you can use general utilities to update and install all drivers. For example,

This article will help you find out the serial number, IMEI of your smartphone or tablet, product code, as well as your device model code and firmware version.

Model numbers and identification codes are most often needed to perform service procedures. For example, when contacting support remotely, you will need to provide the specialist with the serial number, IMEI, and product code.

To work with automatic services, you may need a model modification number. And of course, for almost any manipulation with the device, you need to know the firmware version. But first things first.

How to find out the firmware version and model number of Huawei?

Information about the firmware of your smartphone or tablet can be found in the system settings. For this:

1. go to the settings menu;
2. scroll the list to the very bottom and select the item “About smartphone” (or “About tablet PC”);
3. in the list that opens, write down the data from the items “Android version”, “Communication module firmware”, “Kernel version” and “Build number”.

This data represents complete information about the device’s firmware. At the same time, the “Build Number” also includes the device model identifier (it is also indicated in the “Model Number” item) and information about the firmware region. Using the build number “S7-601uV100R001C170B101” as an example, we can get the following information:

• Model ID code - S7-601u - Huawei Mediapad 7 Vogue;
• Region - C170 - Russia;
• The firmware version is B101.

In addition, for most devices, the manufacturer indicates the model identification code on the box in the barcode area next to the certification mark.

How to find out the serial number of a Huawei device?

The device serial number includes model information and other information from the manufacturer. The serial number may be designated as Serial Number or S/N. You can find this number on the box in the barcode area, on the receipt and warranty card, or under the back cover in the battery area next to the barcode.

How to find out the IMEI of a Huawei/Honor device?

IMEI is an exclusive number by which a device is identified on the mobile network and registered in the manufacturer’s system. This number will help you find your device in case of loss or theft, as well as receive advice and service remotely. This code can be found:

1. on the box near the barcode;
2. under the back cover in the battery area;
3. using the combination *#06# in the device dialer.
4. You can check the IMEI of a Huawei smartphone or tablet based on Android OS in Settings->About phone->IMEI. If the smartphone supports two SIM cards, then the IMEI for each radio module will be indicated.

How to find out the product code of a Huawei device?

The device product code may be referred to as Product Code or P/c. This is the device's personal service code and is usually not included on the barcode sticker. You can find out the product code in the engineering menu (the call combination may be different for each device) or using the universal code for the dialer - *#*#1357946#*#*.

In most cases, the information presented above should be suitable for any situation when using a Huawei device. However, in new models, the principles for generating serial numbers may change.
