Are you getting notices to upgrade to windows 10? Is that what you are complaining about?

No, to verify my windows 8.1 product key, which I can't if it windows the one I already have on my system, the same key I mean I used on other builds.

You can't use the same key for more than one computer.
This forum does not promote hacks or other things to make the computer seem as if it is a genuine install.

You can't legally use the same Windows 8.x product key on two different computers at the same time. One product key, one license, one system.

You could re-install Win 10 onto the spare drive in the affected system, using the same product key you originally used.

How did you determine that the 2TB, Win 10 install was corrupt?
