Enth I discovered the reason of my problems really you're right no kidding at this time I checked the sizes of the ISO's that I modified one has 2.7GB 2016 LTSB I did last March and the one I did yesterday has 2.97GB is clear that HAVE ISSUES being that I just removed the "unnecessary things" then ... only remains to format even curse what a guy to go without sleep two days is able good night friend logout and format all again oh my God.
Wouldn't a problem with activation tech be detected by sfc /scannow? Also I did a full DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and then inplace reinstall just 2 days ago.
No. The tokens store may be corrupt. If the Options ended up a no go, I'll tell you how to make a pure Pro edition iso to upgrade.
Yes. But there's more than that, we couldn't understand. It just keeps showing the same error prompts.
Not to give up yet. Look into C:\Windows\servicing\Packages for Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Professional-License-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum Do it. Edit: token reset won't work for your situation now. If it worked, no need to bother, right?
Then the Core's Product Policy remained... Wait. 16299.15 x64, right? Try this: 1. dism /online /add-package:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Professional-Default-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum 2. reboot 3. test gpedit If this won't revert the Product Policy to Pro. we need to swap it manually.
Yes, because we swap it by slmgr, not through activation, it won't activate Group Policy. BTW, (just in case) to prevent such thing from happening again when upgrade, I'd recommend that you upgrade with a "Pro" iso - not combined consumer one. Otherwise, the embedded Core key may bring it back to Core again. Before you run into trouble in upgrading back to Core, make sure these strings exist: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "CompositionEditionID"="Professional" "EditionID"="Professional" "ProductName"="Windows 10 Pro" Or install Pro SKU's certificates now: dism /online /add-package:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Branding-Professional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /add-package:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Editions-Professional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /add-package:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Editions-Professional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~xx-XX~10.0.16299.15.mum dism /online /add-package:C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP-Component-SKU-Professional-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum P.S. xx-XX = en-US, etc. Good luck.
