Not working for me then even with Window's Hyper-V (h t t ps://imgur.com/a/dWFT6R7). That's an image downloaded directly from Microsoft and not any homebrew...What am I doing wrong?
I never used HyperV, I am a VMWare user, but some insider builds can't boot using a scsi adapter, try to change it to another like in VMWare Sata or NVME. ps, it can be because the IP build probably has expired, it's from august 2017: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/discussion-windows-10-insider-preview-build-16278-pc.75019/ Downloading the ISO now. EDIT: 16278 VMWare UEFI boot, no go, Legacy BIOS boot, works.
Okay, so at least I am not crazy...Alright, I'll just install in BIOS then convert the VM to UEFI then...I think that should work.
@whatever127 explained to me, when set the VM bios date to a date before it expired (2017-08-27), it will boot.
Yes, for me, I just need to intercept the boot process and load into the UEFI Firmware shell and issue the date command.
True you have to activate with another key or use https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/kms_vl_all-smart-activation-script.79535/
@endbase & @Fatmice , last time we checked (couple of weeks ago) it still worked, but you have to disable time sync, else the key is found blocked.
1. Go to Services > Windows Time > DISABLE The Display Name is Windows Time. The Service name is W32Time. 2. Go to Task Scheduler > Microsoft > Windows > Time Synchronization. SynchronizeTime: set to DISABLE
Yeah I did that before as well. Time was set to December 20, 2017 during install and the network was not made available. Set Time automatically was toggled to off in the Date & Time. I did not touch the time services. I then enable network and put in the XD863 key which upgraded the Home to ProWKS. After a few restart it is now ProWKS but still Insider Edition, as expected. Then I try to run gatherosstate, copied from the 16278 ISO, but it would not run...the rest is as in post #1793
If 16278 shows ProfessionalWorkstation, activated by the key, you can upgrade to a newer build, and it should get the free hwid, as it did when i found out that the key activated it
