Yeah, it is because I decided to rip whole Portable Workspace (not just Portable Workspace Creator). For that reason some files and some registry settings could be already there (in Pro) and protected (reg settings). In this case only namespace setting in reg is important for you to get the thing to Control panel: Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ControlPanel\NameSpace\{8E0C279D-0BD1-43C3-9EBD-31C3DC5B8A77}] @="Portable Workspace Creator"
I provided only en-US and cs-CZ. But anybody can always install Enterprise x64 and x32 to VM and retrieve the MUIs for their language.
I make it success on my win10 pro 64. these are what you need in the .reg file I did not replace any file that is same size and same name.

Could I use this for/ with a Native Boot .VHD W8.1 Pro I intend to run. Also, I saw W81 and W811. I thought theres only W80 and W81 in terms of OS versions? Or am I missing something? PS: Super thanks Moderate
BTW: When importing REG file to the registry, you can ignore the access denied error (for specific key), because: 1. Those keys, which ARE accessible, will be updated anyway. 2. Those keys, which AREN'T accessible, are already there and same, so you don't need them. Of course the REG file with innaccessible keys deleted can be used to avoid the message, but... ...it is waste of time. )
Yep, you can, but download W811 and W810 version. W811 means W81 with update KB2919355, so Windows 8-1 Update 1. W810 means W81 without that update, so Windows 8-1.
Sorry to ask this.. but how do I know whether that KB is in my Windows install or not? Some way to check? PS: I can try to find and post which Window 8.1 ISO I had used.
Tried yesterday on a french Pro w10 x64 version by adding the corresponding mui files picked from enterprise x64 fr but get two different problems : 1st time the app couldnt be lauchned then I tried again the procedure and get an error concerning a dll file which is not present in the system, however this files is in. Any advices? Thanks.
Just download the latest (Beta) Version of WinToUSB! WinToUSB Lets you create an fully cloned copy of your running Windows 10 with the Main WinToGo feature: to be used on any different computer with the advantage of to already been activated and fully running exactly as your "Master" drive! Save you a lot of time to configure, install all needed apps and get activated (which you manually need to do using WinToGo! I stopped WinToGo already and use WinToUSB for all our stuff already!
Can NOT confirm. Do you have test this with "Enterprise" or "Windows 10 Pro" ? I have tested with "Windows 10 Pro". And activation from Master is NOT taken over. Even if I plug in the USB stick into the same notebook where the original installation was cloned from. I think: New "drive" (= USB stick) -> new activation is necessary. I know Windows Enterprise uses KMS activation and when you plug in the USB stick into another PC it activates itself via KMS so that it "seems" activation from Master is taken over. But in reality it is a new KMS activation. Also on homepage of WinToUSB I don't read anything about "Activation from Master is taken over".
Sorry for you to have problems! For me, I installed WinToUSB on 8 external USB3 HDD's already and ALL are activated and I use Windows 10 Pro for it!! But, I do believe that you used an ISO for install WinToUSB on an USB Stick?! In that case, it's a new installation, same as WinToGo does on Enterprise and that will need to get activated!! If you do it correctly, you'll use Physical to USB and THAT will preserves your activation! Just do it the right way!!
Double check, if you have choosen architecture (x64 or x32) correctly. On x64 only one reg file should be imported. Also try to run pwcreator.EXE dirrectly not through Control Panel.
