Yes I used your awesome script , and it did pop-up, for convenience sake i ticked Log box in the pid-checker and copy pasted the result after censor cuts
how i said in my post, i was on an oem of 8.1.1 core, i registered at the insiders webpage, clicked get started, windows update opened and downloaded a few files then the first technical preview which was pro, I've updated through win update with every build, they've all been pro, don't know what will happen if i opt out of insiders after the 29th, i think i'll stay an insider, on this machine at lest,so i can keep pro.
Hi Everyone, I have 2 laptops that came with windows 8.1 pre-install (genuine) The key for these is store in the system bios My question is should I wait till 29th & upgrade to windows 10 (to be safe) Or use the build 10240 to upgrade & If I upgrade with 10240 & will it activate & after I upgraded can I wipe the system & do a clean install any advice please as ive read you must upgrade before you can do a clean install
you have waited this long, maybe you aught to wait a little longer. You are not missing out on anything that cannot wait
Yes! OK then, that's exactly as i suspected.. So if I clean install now, and skip entering key, I should be activated and the channel should be Retail right ? I ll try myself and update the results
ah there is a bit of agony here , i can't recieve the build in windows update , i'm build 1066 and it's linked to my insider email and set to fast ring and tried slow too and removed the keys from the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability)... still big NO !
Information from first post ACTIVATION NOTICE*: Upgrade from a Win7 (activated by daz loader in BIOS or CSM mode) or a legit 7/8/8.1 activated system (no KMS) After upgrade, make sure your system is activated After your system was activated you can clean install and just skip the key entry and it will be activated I tried this method on Virtual machine and that working ( system is permanently activate ).
