    You can only activate if KMS servers/emulators are available. Also you can't restore activation backup on different editions.

    :(

    That works if you are using the Windows 8 AIK. The original poster was using instructions for people still on Windows 7 and using the Windows 7 AIK.

    Actually I was thinking of the RTM copy of DISM inside everyone's W8 ISO's. But I see the point of being able to do it from 7.

    Would this tutorial also work for creating a x86-x64 combo iso? I remember doing something like this for Windows 7 to do that.

    As soon as I get my desktop up again, I'll make a batch file to create an all-in-one with proper repair and such like I did for Windows 7. I cannot find Enterprise-N x86, does it exist? Can someone PM me a link?

    I am trying to be patient for a MAK key though as I hate KMS :\

    It requires a separate key, and does not activate with KMS.

    So, even if you activate pro with kms first, THEN install wmc, you will become unactivated....?
