So, last time I downloaded 16299 using the Microsoft USB tool. I did an upgrade. This may be what messed things up. According to what I am reading here do I need to download 16299 and change the wim file again?
because he does not have the full 16299 WS installed on his machine, he has only 16299.248 license switch so it's not the full WS with the real features. So now he has to install the full 16278 WS , then he has to activate it then upgrade to 16299 to get digital license with the full 16299 WS, don't you agree ?
He doesn't have to install anything less than the edition and build he want's (16299 real pro-ws), the screens he posted clearly showed he already has a HWID for Pro-ws, he even linked it to his MSA on previous installs. it won't officially take updates but if that's what he wants, he gets it.
OK, As you can see 16278 is installed, It is currently activated and appears to be the full WS build. So from here if I download 16299 using the Microsoft USB tool and do an upgrade from where I currently am does that work or do I need to do something different to make sure I have the Full WS build.
You need to create a 16299 pro-ws iso, install that, there was no need to install 16278 again.... To see this: Code: Basic OEM Information For This Computer ======================================= OS Version {SKU} - Windows 10 Pro for Workstations {161} - x64 OS Edition {Registry} - ProfessionalWorkstation OS Edition {CBS} - ProfessionalWorkstation OS Build/Update Revision - 16299 {rs3_release} / 15 {Baseline Release} Or this: Code: C:\Windows\system32>dism /online /get-currentedition Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.16299.15 Image Version: 10.0.16299.15 Current edition is: Current Edition : ProfessionalWorkstation The operation completed successfully. C:\Windows\system32>
So I need to do the whole UUP download of 16299, convert the install.wim again and rebuild the iso with the new wim and then just do an upgrade.
ok i forgot he had already digital license for 16299 WS but i don't think you saw that he had downloaded 16278 one hour ago so you had to tell him to download 16299 home then converted to WS using WES one hour ago.
Downloading Home only UUP of 16299 right now. Will report back once I am done. That was my original mistake as I didn't convert 16299 to PFWS
when i think about that, i don't think that downloading home 16299 then convert it to 16299 WS one hour ago would change anything because remember that he hadn't the Full 16299 WS, it was only a switch license from Pro to WS so i don't think that the digital license was the one that was associated to WS, i think the digital license was associated to Pro version but i am not sure, we would have known that if he had installed the 16299 WS.
The HWID is for Pro-WS, no matter how it was generated. He seems to use an online windows account, so normally when he now signs in with his MSA it should be HWID activated.
I think it was using my Professional License as I own a copy of that and since the OS was "Professional" that is what I feel it was using.
