    Hey,
    Nice video, but I think you missed something important. You only showed how to remove the key from the system, but you forgot how to remove the key from the registry also.
    Here what you should have proposed for instructions:
    Open command prompt as administrator by typing cmd in search.
    Type following commands.
    slmgr -dli (This will tell you the type of key you have.)
    slmgr.vbs /upk (This will uninstall your key)
    slmgr.vbs /cpky (This will clear any registry key with your licence)
    Maybe it's time to update your video.

    If you goto same settings page and click on troubleshoot under the windows activation & if you have same motherboard the windows copy will get acitivated.
    so, we are really not erasing anything from the motherboard though the windows key is removed temoporarily.
    so, this is not good

      Well you cant change the lock screen wallpaper and the desktop wallpaper. You also cant make your taskbar small, or remove the action center. (There is a way to change your desktop wallpaper if you have an unactivated copy. Just right click on the image that you downloaded and click set as desktop background)
