    It's 100% if you use Take Ownership and Merge the Store/Tokens folders. It's not 100% if you delete the already-existing folders from ssp and then copy/paste the new ones, as that method gets rid of some Enterprise files, whereas merging keeps the old ones and adds new ones. If you delete and replace the Store and Tokens folders you end up with Win8 starter.

    I've tested the method posted on 5 different computers, all using the untouched ISO, and it works perfectly on them all. And 3 of my personal friends have tried it and say the same ;) It's just, you need to follow the tutorial EXACTLY, and you can't skip steps no matter how unimportant they may seem.

    Yeah, true.

    I may end up making a batch script or something in a few days which does everything for them :p Apart from there's one part where you need to go into safe mode so I'll put "Please run Activator2.bat from Safe Mode!" or something xD

    Um, I removed the timebomb, & while it says it's disarmed, I'm not allowed to Activate. The status is Unknown. I had used WOAT before, but nowadays I'm getting an Activate Windows window, so obviously something's up...

    Please help!

    Thanks,
    M260

    EDIT: Oh, yeah, & you know how WOAT requires you to set the BIOS date back to September 23rd, 2010 or something? I had done that when I used WOAT, but afterwards I set it back to the present. This was before I used your activator.

    EDIT 2: nvm, it seems I had to NOT do what BetaArchive told me to do, & actually have the BIOS date in the present in the 1st place.
