Im not talking about downloading the update right now, Im talking about the free upgrade on Jul 29, will my windows 10 activated (my windows 8.1 activated by phone )
pro, did a fresh install then ran into the no activation problem, tried the slmgr.vbs -ipk (code here) trick, old kms + a few keys but no luck then read further down on this thread that someone activated via kms which then got me looking for newer version then it worked for me
Hmm since I dont want to wait until the 29th, I think Im gonna do this... Download 10074 from MSDN that has a legit product key & install that Upgrade to 10240 Do a reset to clean everything up. Sounds good, right?
Nope MSDN insider keys can't activate anymore. Currently i'm trying the followubg myself - Grab ESD and create 10240 ISO (currently at this step DL'ing esd from WU on not activated 10074) - Clean Install and activate win 8.1 with MSDN key - Upgrade with created 10240 ISO
That sounds even better. Mind PM'ing me the link to the MS DL for the ESD for en_US pro x64? I think I can take care of the rest.
