[DISCUSSION] Windows 10 Pro for Workstations SKU

you can't download Pro WS edition, afaik MS didn't make these versions available for the users.
You can either download and install win10 home (16251-16288) then do a full upgrade to WS by entering this key (3VKCP -7QN23-D3GQV-MD2VH-XD863) and get WS activated at the same time or download home (16251-16288) iso and set edition offline to WS using WES tool by @s1ave77 then create a new PWS iso from the new converted install.wim and install WS on your machine then you can upgrade to a more current edition to get HWID.
you can download home edition (16251-16288) using UUP dump by @mkuba50 => https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/uup-dump.75052/

 

THANKS

 

Your best bet is to download 16278. It is available, and works.

 

Tried Ultimate Performance & run some synthetic benchmarks no difference can someone confirm or I'm missing something

 

It's just a powerscheme, iirc it has the hdd shutdown set to "never" in opposite of the 20min on high power..

 

Thanks, downloaded the uup files and made an iso and installed with key provided in earlier post. Worked flawlessly. Then updated to 16299.390

 

I enter key but is error key is invaild

 

16299.390 gonne test this

edit nope stuck on 16299.15 update not working error

 

are you sure that home 16278 is installed on your machine ?
open command prompt (in admin mode) then type :

Code:

slmgr /dlv

and post the screen.

 

@enthusiast: Reur Howto establish HWID for Win 10 KMS activated installs. This works on Win 10 Pro For Workstations. v 16251.1. I live in the US and was not able to get an HWID by the typical method. (only by abbodi 1406's KMS_VL_ALL followed by your new procedure! Another great job on your part! Keep up the good work!

 

Or in other words, it's the standard "High Performance" power plan tweaked to turn off all power management. Just like I tweak it.

 

This does work. Thanks @mehdibleu and @xinso. Sure were a lot of hoops to jump through to get here. Hopefully it will not be this way once RS4 is released.

 

Ok folks I have Windows 10 for Workstations installed see screenshots attached, do I now run gatherosstate.exe from the ISO i used to install it? and then use the same USB drive to reinstall windows offline and then Copy GenuineTicket.xml to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket ?

 

-snip-

 

hi @ALL is there an non expiration date build version available ? once we convert them to ProWs ?

 

16299.15

 

Confirmed working thx alot

 

Yeah this. Was not even paying attention to this until I found 5 of my test VMs all registered while debugging my full WimImaging wrapper.

 

You just double-click on the gatherosstate.exe and it will output a GenuineTicket.xml to the directory the .exe is located. Then just save the GenuineTicket.xml and you can simply add that XML to it's appropriate location.

 

After your image is mounted, copy and paste the following in either PowerShell or PowerShell ISE to load the function, and then run the function command. It will auto-detect the location the WIM is mounted at. Since it accepts pipeline arguments, you can use "C:\Path To My Data\GenuineTicket.xml" | Apply-GenuineTicket, or Apply-GenuineTicket "C:\Path To My Data\GenuineTicket.xml"

Code:

Function Apply-GenuineTicket
{
   [CmdletBinding()]
   Param
   (
       [Parameter(Mandatory = $true,
                  ValueFromPipeline = $true,
                  ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true)]
       [string]$GenuineTicket
   )
  
   Begin
   {
       $MountFolder = (Get-WindowsImage -Mounted).Path
       $GenuineTicket = Get-Item -LiteralPath $GenuineTicket -Force
   }
  
   Process
   {
       If ($GenuineTicket.Extension -ilike ".XML")
       {
           Copy-Item -Path $GenuineTicket -Destination "$MountFolder\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket\GenuineTicket.xml" -Force
           Write-Output "$(Split-Path $GenuineTicket -Leaf) added to the image."
       }
       Else
       {
           Write-Warning "$(Split-Path $GenuineTicket -Parent) does not contain a GenuineTicket.xml file."
           Break
       }
   }
}
