I've upgraded as delete everything option to Build 10525 from genuine activated Windows 10 RTM with no problems and it remained activated for me
I have used a number of different windows 10 version and activation has been fine as its not the same sort of activation like before..? All you need to do is use the same name and computer name for the system and it will activate like always ..
My Windows update still not found th2, but I download Pro ISO for clean install, and need the key for install and activation
It's because numerous people, like myself, have become unactivated and the Insider key (that changed just before RTM) is no longer valid on the activation server. I looked on the Feedback tool and a few others have had the same problem with 10525. No doubt the number is much higher, just that people haven't come across it yet! In older feedback though, there are quite a few people who have had the same thing post 10240 but pre 10525 install. Remember the Feedback tool is different for Insiders as it is to the public, Insiders can't see public feedback and vice-versa.
Were you an Insider though? This is only for Insiders, the actual release is rumoured to be in October.
My wife's P8P67-Build upgraded without any issues, but my previously clean-installed P8Z77-V - Build got stuck in an endless Upgrade-Loop, which I could fix with the ISO. The Surface-Pro-3 caused no issues at all. You will have most likely have to re-configure your Network / Internet and re-create / re-join your Home-Group. I got also a few installed Apps / Drivers removed, because Microsoft thinks that they are not compatible with the Pre-View-Build-10525, which is partially not true.
Build 10525 is only for insiders. You got to be signed up as a insider to use this build. Also you got to upgrade from 10240. Then afterwards you can clean install using reset.
Well this build seems a lot more stable and faster right now .. Anyway no turning back for me as i have just cleaned my hard drive and carry on being an insider ..
