    MTK2.6.2 will activate (Enterprise is VL).

    There is no (free) HWID for Enterprise so no need to upgrade first if you don't want to upgrade.

    For Home and Pro upgrading will give a free HWID and as many as you want (Home + N and Pro + N)

    Hey guys, sorry for asking a newby question, tried to search but I couldn't find an answer, so if one of you could help me out, I'd be glad!
    I'm running Windows 10 Home on a new laptop right now. Can I backup my installation, install Windows 8.1 Pro, use a Loader to activate it, update to Windows 10 Pro, then go back to my old installation and update to Pro, or will that require a retail key nonetheless?

    To activate Windows 8.1 Pro you need a KMS activation.

    Once you had activated windows 10 prof with digital license / entitlement, you can go back to your original home edition installation and upgrade to Prof edition using Win 10 Prof generic key. It should be activating with "Digital License/entitlement."

    Hello,

    I had Windows 10 activated (Upgrade from Windows 8.1).
    I now installed a clean installation of Windows 10 Creators Edition (1703).

    Yet the system says Windows isn't activated.
    I also tried working with the troubleshooting wizard with no success.

    Any idea what to do?

    Thank You.

    I imagine he does not have a Windows 10 key. I would try the product key from the previous copy of Windows 8.1

    I am kinda new here .. I am still using Win 7 Pro 64 bit that I pre-ordered. I am looking to update to 10.

    MediaCreationTool.exe lets me update this computer (to 10 pro) .. but can I up date to 10 N? I never use Windows Media Player.

    I would love to install LTSB .. but it's lacking the App Store or summat .. which I would like to use to download and play/try the Win 10 Ed of Minecraft.

    Speaking of editions & versions .. which is best/most stable for FPS gaming? 1507, 1511, 1607, 1703. Adventures Update, Anniversary Update, Creators Update .. Gundam Hyper X Elite Update :p
