•Your geographic location

•Edition of Windows 10 that is preinstalled

Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Hardware.aspx for illustrations of the various types of Genuine Microsoft labels.

•In the People’s Republic of China, the Genuine Microsoft label is required on all computer models preinstalled with any version of Windows 10.

•In other countries and regions, the Genuine Microsoft label is required only on computer models licensed for Windows 10 Pro.

The absence of a Genuine Microsoft label does not indicate that the preinstalled Windows version is not genuine.
