Ah ok, the one in the magnet link is not the same as the Eval ISO on MS website. This may explain why you are able to activate it as its an insider preview.
Thats odd. This may be the case, but I have downloaded the iso from the original post on page 17, and the magnet link. the file names were identical, and the SHA-1 were also identical. I made sure to check, because i was not sure if one was rtm or not. Edit, also my build number matches the eval one 17763.1 Edit: I just redownloaded from magnet link, and rechecked SHA-1 and it is identical to the SHA-1 from the very first post, where you needed a password to download. So I do not believe the magnet link version to be an insider preview. edit 2: i think this is the rtm??
Well I don't know what to say then. Because every one has been telling me that it is an eval. And attempting to convert using DISM gave error 50. I really dont want to spread misinformation. I am not trying to do that. From what I had read and gathered , everything said that all the links posted were eval. Unless I seriously misunderstood. For which i apologize. Edit: I am dumb. ISO from post 325 appears to be RTM
Ah, ok The one i downloaded from was a reposted magnet on post 373 that was 3.61GB. I have now downloaded from post 325 and is the same SHA 256 and is also 3.61GB vs the MS Eval image that is 3.60GB.
yes, i downloaded from both sources as well. identical SHA. i burned a usb and the label says .. CES_X86FREV_EN-US_DV5 what does the EV mean? thx
No need to apologize,it is easy to get confused here. As for activation that is a different issue altogether as many times it needs an update of activation tool too for latest versions like these.
Ok i was able to KMS the magnet version with these results: I notice its reporting it as EnterpriseS... not sure if this is a legit ISO or a custom. Not accusing just unsure.
No VM and upgraded from Pro Ws but that does not matter the normal version can be activated through KMS
As far as activation goes, I used the script succesfully. I did try MTK earlier and it failed, however i do believe i had installed the eval that time around. Either way I'm sure MTK would need an update to activate this anyhow.
