    Windows 20 eh? .. you know something that we don't?

    I tried earlier and it didn't work. kept saying the 3V66T key was blocked, even with signing into my Microsoft Account and setting it up for Insider builds.

    I simply disabled Windows Update from services, no need for a script.

    That's a bad idea. Updates are good. The reason we disable automatic updates is so we can control when we install them.

    At this point I would say Classic shell for a free program. However StartisBack++ is great and my go to program for putting a proper start menu back in.

    That being said I am opposed to using Windows 10 given the crappy state of the GUI.

    Microsoft have disabled all Win10 keys. You can't make any new activations until 29th now.

    Windows 10 does not have a professional edition. It call pro edition

    abbodi1406 is kindly telling us about such infomation:

    Code:
    Image Index: 1
-------------------
Name:        Windows 10 Pro
Description:    Windows 10 Pro
Flags:        Professional
Files:        94284
Folders:        18986
Expanded Size:    13100 MB


Image Index: 2
-------------------
Name:        Windows 10 Home
Description:    Windows 10 Home
Flags:        Core
Files:        93631
Folders:        18870
Expanded Size:    13003 MB
    We can use anything for Name and Description. But the flags, aka EditionID, must match for the recognition of a specific Edition.

    For a custom image, we can find the flags (EditionID) from:

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]
"EditionID"="Professional"
"ProductName"="Windows 10 Pro"

    You have gone the wrong way.

    For a free copy of Windows 10, the legitimate Windows 8.1 Core must be upgraded to Windows 10 Core via Windows Update once at least.

    3 options:

    1. go back to Windows 8.1 Core and start from the scratch
    2. keep opted-in for endless free copies of activated Windows 10 Pro preview builds (Final Release is treated as one of the preview builds.)
    3. opt out and activate Pro edition illegally, or buy a new key.

    You want a copy of WORKING Windows 10 and NOT being a FREE Beta tester for Microsoft. No?

    Glad to hear that. Good for you. If you want me to post MS ESD link, feel free to leave a message.

    Of course, you must stay here waiting for the link, for it is time-bombed.
