The honest answer napalms is that we don't know in regards to the key you now have - I presume it is the same key as everyone else who has done the same as you. There isn't a clear indication either way if you (and the rest who upgraded like this, myself included) will remain activated after 29th July. It would be nice but who knows at this stage. Worst case scenario, you can clean-install Windows 8.1 and take the upgrade path Microsoft want you to use on or after the 29th. Just have fun for now and keep an eye on this forum of any news between now and the 29th.
You did restore it to the same hardware of an already activated machine? It's only purpose is to establish if connection is required when re-install to the same hardware mate. Atari is testing now, he'll post back soon.
As an Insider I couldn't activate my Enterprise version I upgraded from previous build. That's the validity for the reason why I switched to Professional edition.
That is the bold option if you aren't going to purchase a Windows 10 Enterprise license or product key.
Did you activate your system using ENterprise while logged in as an insider before trying to upgrade?
I think everybody now has that, I know I do..I wouldn't worry about it because you can't transfer it to another machine anyway. Nobody expects it to become deactivated after the 29th, this OS(10240) will never expire.
are you sure this should works on this build and not in the last one ? cauze i have curiousity try in my vmware with my e-mail insider
Not right now, no. They've stopped the insider key activations. I don't know when they'll start it again. You had to have activated and gotten the activation on their servers when they were activating.
Funny is why is Microsoft telling some windows reviewer customers that Build 10240 from insider fast and slow ring isn't RTM version?
It's getting WORSE. These apply to Windows 10 Home & Pro. Microsoft Confirms Windows 10 Updates Cannot Be Stopped. With just 12 days before release Microsoft has finally published its Windows 10 end user license agreement (EULA) and the big news is it confirms a feature some fear: Windows 10 updates cannot be stopped. Here’s the official line: “The software periodically checks for system and app updates, and downloads and installs them for you. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources, and Microsoft may need to update your system to provide you with those updates. By accepting this agreement, you agree to receive these types of automatic updates without any additional notice.” In short: Windows 10 will automatically download and install updates and you have no option to switch them off.
Yes, I did! Microsoft refused to activate me when upgrading to 101240. I even used the Contact Support for assistance and the person on duty that day couldn't help . In fact, he expected me to use a purchased product key. I was dumbfounded by what I experienced as an Insider.
IT IS RTM. FIRST BUILD IN RTM. But only is sended to Insiders and Customers to get ready comps for store...
someone could confirm the SHA-1 of the ESD in another language other than English, since I downloaded from sources in Spanish and both codes are exactly the same and this does not match any database ESD Example: Nombre: 10240.16384.150709-1700.th1_CLIENTPRO_RET_x64fre_es-es_C29FC3E8C592D96ED1B883C4B36F78C6735B51C0.esd CRC-32: 7b24523a MD4: 47961c4eeefe350c89872c44a9ce7201 MD5: 2df4a0d556b5f50384d9d07cb0d44a11 SHA-1: 8be430b8d1abaaa43111ff46da81e356458e23a4 Nombre: 10240.16384.150709-1700.th1_clientpro_ret_x64fre_es-mx_1c8db79817cbc80f9b266d057fd6536992ee2a4a.esd CRC-32: 7b24523a MD4: 47961c4eeefe350c89872c44a9ce7201 MD5: 2df4a0d556b5f50384d9d07cb0d44a11 SHA-1: 8be430b8d1abaaa43111ff46da81e356458e23a4 ESD only in English if it matches the SHA-1 database Nombre: 10240.16384.150709-1700.th1_clientpro_ret_x64fre_en-us_9d40e15f430ab89a1eabb165acbf40c9f07d18bb.esd CRC-32: 7d775b9e MD4: 432f38d89a2cc7755c5f68d5fb36928b MD5: 48d429483c72ee3ad55c4601b97b1a55 SHA-1: 9d40e15f430ab89a1eabb165acbf40c9f07d18bb
