It's waste time thread to know the last build number. I'm interest about what will be the boot logo of Windows 10 RTM.
Here's somew infos I just got, note that it's not MS official, so take with salt : Note 1: Don't ask me wtf is Upgrade Verification Key, or how to get it, I don't know, take a wild guess yourselves. Note 2: My friend said if your "win7 OEM" has only OA2.1, it's not enough to be verified as genuine. About Win7/8.1 free upgrade to win10 The upgrade only applies to OEM, retail, MSDN retail The upgrade does not apply to KMS, MAK The upgrade does not check if the Windows is genuine while in the process of upgrading, non-genuine Windows could be upgraded to win10. The following infos will be sent and stored in MS "activation server": 1. HWID, supports SID 2. IP address 3. Upgrade Verification Key 4. Date & Time When the above datas are authenticated, the device will be verified as activated, activation is tied to this device. A service will be running in win10, if it is disabled, win10 will crash.
Being an Activation person I very much disagree with this assessment. That is not how the activation service works rookie. The service is SPPSVC and if you turn it off the activation merely causes the machine to go non-genuine. If you want I can open up my reverse engineering tools again to check this out. What you are saying would cause such a mess MS would get a crap ton of phone calls regarding genuine stuff This is what will happen. Microsoft will use the update issued to Windows 7 and Windows 8 to officiate the copies of Windows. This will relay the information back to MS to verify the copy of Windows is genuine against the existing Activation Server. This means in all likelihood Loader and KMS activation will be good to go. The information you have listed is just incorrect.
How can this be right? Edit .. what else will it require to be verified? Blood of virgins / Dolphin tears?
Sorry it just popped in my head.. thanks REO "Heard it from a friend who, Heard it from a friend who, Heard it from another you been messin' around" This is what my friend told me..
