Switch to Start Screen. When you have Searching-lense and Power-down symbols next to User Tile, then you have W811. When there is User tile alone, then you have W810.
yes I've choosen x64 arch and copied the files to system32 and SysWOW64 and imported only 64 reg file tomorrow i will try again and give you feedback
Install W10 in Virtual machine and try there. After that you can examine, if it is problem of one system or the "installation procedure".
Thank you, I'll try it soon. BTW, currently also "Aomei Partition Assistant" do the same job on all Windows Home/Pro versions without modify original OS.
No, I used "Physical to USB" (left pane, lowermost button). WinToUSB creates a WinPE file, reboots into WinPE and copy the physical partition. I also see after booting from USB stick that this is not a fresh ISO installation, but a clone because of some modifications I have made in the original installation: Taskbar hide search bar, hide task switcher icon, show all icons and changed background picture. What I have tested: I changed to use WinToUSB 2.3 beta (before I uses 2.2 stable); but no changes: USB clone is still not activated. I remember that I have used a "Windows to Go" certificated USB stick. This stick is recognized in Windows as a "local disk" - not as a "removal disk" like other cheap USB sticks. I tested the WinToUSB cloning with a cheap USB stick (not "Windows to Go" certificated USB stick). And now the cloned USB stick shows "activated". I booted the cloned Windows 10 on another PC. And now the cloned USB stick shows "not activated". I booted the cloned Windows 10 on the initially PC. And now the cloned USB stick shows "not activated". I tested the WinToUSB cloning with an external USB3 HDD. The cloned USB3 HDD shows "not activated". My experiences are just the opposite: On a "local drive" ("Windows to Go" certificated USB stick or USB3 HDD) the cloned Windows 10 is not activated. On a "removal drive" (cheap USB stick) the cloned Windows 10 is activated. Once booted on another PC the activation is gone - even if I go back to the initially PC I do not understand what you and I have done differently to have different results. But for me my results are more logical: Different hardware = new activation. What happens when you one of your 8 external USB3 HDD's build into a PC or notebook ? Then you should have an activated Windows 10 installation based on a clone.
First at all: I use external USB 3.0 /3.1 HDD's only! I need at least an external 320GB external HDD for to get all Apps I need on that WinToUSB drive for my and our stuffs working! ISB Sticks/Flashdrives are out of question at this time! I've to admit that I never used WinToUSB on any Stick/Flashdrive till now and could therefore not tell it will works. In all of my post regarding WinToUSB I only talked about External USB HDD's! All created WinToUSB HDD's are a clone of the Main HDD of my Office machine because that contains all installed apps we (my stuff and I) need for our work, working fully autoactivated on any computer we're using. The only difference is the slow first start because of the change of the needed drivers in that machine. If restart on the same machine again, the start time is much faster, still a bit slower as to start from a normal internal HDD! Change the machine, the start time will again very slow! Otherwise, everything will works as on normal machine, again: fully activated! And I use WinToUSB for around 2 years with no any problems and all times fully activated and directly ready to start activated after the build! I've to take your word for it that you face the mentioned problem, but could not see that on the External HDD's I use.
@pisthai Can you tell us how you did clon drive-by-step. Thank you. Spoiler All created WinToUSB HDD's are a clone of the Main HDD of my Office machine because that contains all installed apps we (my stuff and I) need for our work, working fully autoactivated on any computer we're using
I didn't understand the copy-paste instruction properly & which version to download. Someone plz help
That's simply done with the option 3 (physical to USB)! First option is ISO to USB, while 2. option is DVD/CD to USB and 3. option physical HDD to USB! In WinToUSB those steps are easy and just a few: open/run WinToUSB chose your option, in case of clone use Physical to USB click Next because the C: HDD is automatically selected Click Yes in upcoming Screen which will take some time, depend on Size of HDD (NOT Partition) select Destination select relevant Partitions Proceed Let them write the USB Disk and after that's done close WinToUSB. Check that you could boot from newly build WinToUSB Drive!
The screen shot from user "luky" is not from within Windows PE: It's difficult to make a screenshot from within Windows PE (perhaps you can do this in virtual maschine) The screen from Windows PE looks different. The screen shot is even before the target drive selection. When I start WinToUSB first time and press the left pane lowermost button it appears a message box: "WinPe must be created ...take some minutes ... are your sure ?" and then a blue progress bar. After this I found the 300 MB "boot.wim" file in folder C:\Program Files\WinToUSB\bin So the question should be: Why this not happen by user "lucky" ? No rights to create / write this file ? No disk space ?
You noted correctly because does not want to make those files. Space is not a problem because I have an empty USB HDD 320 GB. What could be wrong, that does not want to do this?
OK, then forget my test with USB sticks. But: So still unanswered questions: I do not understand what you and I have done differently to have different results. But for me my results are more logical: Different hardware = new activation. What happens when you one of your 8 external USB3 HDD's build into a PC or notebook ? Then you should have an activated Windows 10 installation based on a clone.
