I see. Does Windows transmit other things to a remote server? Like… everything you do, or at least some things. One thing that I found very strange is that Windows 10 can show you Facebook notifications, even if the browser is closed. That means that Windows “knows” your Facebook activity. Are there discussions about Windows privacy in this forum? Do you consider it private? I need Windows to work with some photo and video programs. But I think I am going to install Linux in other partition, for Internet, writing and other simpler tasks. I have never used Linux, I have to try it.
In my experience, it's much easier to run Linux in a VM than to multi-boot. Microsoft has a really bad habit of messing up multi-boot setups. YMMV
@ohenry Thank you for the comment. I once had two Windows in different partitions and I just selected the system at the beginning. What would be the problem? Or is it because Linux can't see the files created by Windows and vice versa? Should I install a virtual Windows in Linux? Someone recommend me this and I just saw a brief video about this. In this case, can I activate the virtual Windows with MAS?
Does this method still work for Win 7 Pro -> Win 10 Pro in a VM? I will need to use VM because Win 7 is unsupported on my hardware
You can just as easily directly install 10/11 and use one of the two tools, i hint at in my sig, create a HWID and save you a lot of trouble.
Thanks, I may give it a try on a NUC (new old stock) I bought last Sunday. It's being sent by mail (OMG!) on a slow horse to nowhere. Supposedly it will get here next Tuesday! I haven't played with Win 11 yet.
A friend of mine asked me help getting Win 10 into his very old Vista laptop. I upgraded it with an SSD and in the process noticed it has a Vista Pro license key sticker on the bottom. Would a Vista Pro key work ? I was thinking about fresh installing Win7 Pro, activate with DAZ Loader then use the tutorial on the OP, but maybe downloading the latest ISO from mickeysoft (Windows ISO downloader....) and using the Vista key works directly (?)
vista upgrade to windows 10 not works ! use clean methode : install windows 10 clean install activate with massgravel ( generate hwid activation same as windows 7 upgraded to windows 10 ) search massgravel on google last version 1.7 choose education sku ( similar to enterprise ) to have full control
It worked! Wohooo... Thanks a lot. The only problem I had was that it took ages to get out of the black screen with the blinking cursor, was starting to think it had hanged...
