If you sign in with a Microsoft account sometimes it automatically activates Windows 10 to your Microsoft account meaning you never need to type in a key or activate using a key or the phone. It does that for me on clean installs with a retail version of 10 Pro - I don't type in the key during setup, but I sign in with my Microsoft account and it automatically activates to my account (I never type the key or manually activate and yes it is a legal copy of 10). If I use a keyfinder to see what key it has used it's the same on all of my systems with 10 Pro and it's not the same as the retail keys I have.i bought a OEM windows 10 i installed on a new machine i skipped the activation,
