Hi, I've just become the steward of a 10AGS today, so quite excited. By all accounts it seems to be a 1959 model and in great condition except for a missing fine adjuster. But sorry, I digress. In the run up to the purchase, I came across this thread (Another Wadkin AGS 10 restoration...

This prompted me to flip my laptop over to see if I had a windows serial number, and my machine doesn't. Found this on the Microsoft site though: Depending on how you got your copy of Windows 10, you'll need either a 25-character product key or a digital license to activate it. Without one of...
