[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Final 1607 RS1 Build 14393 + Jan. 2017 Refresh (PC + Mobile)

I currently have Microsoft on Live chat about my activation issue (they took control of my machine and have now activated Windows - it looked like he typed in another product code but someone he blocked the screen so I couldn't see what he typed in.

I then said if I was to do a clean install again on my machine would I have the same issue - his reply was:-

If you were to do a clean install of Windows 10 Anniversary edition then I would have to buy a new product key, I then stated that I upgraded my Windows 8 Pro to Windows 10 Pro and didn't have any activation problems before so why should I have problems now......He just keeps on repeating the fact that it's because its the anniversary edition!!

 

doesn't make much sense... could you tell me how you contacted Microsoft for this? thanks

 

Try using a Product Key Finder program, and if you find the key report back.

Please send me the link to download this iso file:
pl_windows_10_enterprise_version_1607_updated_jul_2016_x64_dvd_9053882.iso

Thank you so much.

 

Same question has been bugging me since Win10 was released. When they made the browser a Modern app I thought the reason was to have it in the Store like all other apps, but can't understand why they do it this way. It means only when Win10 gets a cumulative update then Edge is also updated, whereas being an app it should not be any longer connected to the OS' update schedule.

What new nonsense is this?

Unfortunately not all legacy BIOS-only systems can boot from a USB stick with just the ISO contents extracted to it.

No one expects you to wade through this monster thread but it's not difficult really! At least read the OP - then you would have seen a link to this post that keeps being updated with Enterprise ISO's. The logical thing to do is bookmark that post and keep checking it.

 

they even said that LTSB was the most stable os on earth

 

Just checked the Product key and it ends with 8HV26

 

Why don't you provide Rufus' log here so we can see what it says? Otherwise how can we guess?

Also, did you first confirm with the SHA1 hash that your downloaded ISO is fine?

 

Yes of course:

My guess is you got a typical dumb first level support guy who activated your system using a fresh key. Meanwhile I'm sure everyone including you having problems activating after a clean install (despite having a DE and no major hardware changes) will eventually have their systems auto-activate.

Me too, which is why I said it fails on some older systems. Most likely a quirk of the BIOS.

 

Which exact ISO was this? Again, did you check its SHA1 hash?

 

Never used rufus to create boot media for Windows so cant comment

only this stands out to me.
Error for 32bit MBR when you using 64Bit image
