    Maybe on the system with the activated 7 SP1 (legit and daz) or 8.1 (Legit activation only)? ;)

    Put it on the desktop and run it as admin.

    Im trying to fresh install win10 iso now. When i try to run setup.exe it gives me the error that "spwizeng.ddl is either not designed to run on windows or contains a error. Try installing the program using hte original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support"

    It seems you have a corrupted install media.

    Do you boot from usb/dvd or are you running setup from within win 7 or 8.1 (in case of the latter you're going to upgrade and then you didn't have to generate a genuineticket.xml at all).

    Anyone try 7_Ultimate_USB_Drive_Edition_x64_v3.0_by_iMortaluz to generate genuineticket? I think you would 1st have to run RemoveWAT to re-enable Windows Activation than install DAZ loader with OEM key/cert than add all Windows 7 drivers for hardware, reboot than check activation status and if activated run gatherosstate.exe from Windows 10 ISO. I am thinking of trying this out so that I can just upgrade my Windows 10 Home to Pro with that temporary key than reboot to a Command Prompt, Copy genuineticket.xml to where it needs to go an reboot. Think it will activate?
    I hope I explained that clearly.

    Don't ever use a windows release, which is "activated" by RemoveWAT, it isn't genuine at all, for ever what reason ;)

    Couldn't boot 7_Ultimate_USB_Drive_Edition_x64_v3.0_by_iMortaluz probably because its not compatible with Skylake hardware. Oh well sounded like a great idea in my head anyways.

    I was hoping to get around having to do a full install of Windows 7 and remembered iMortaluz USB edition. Oh well I ended up just paying for the Pro upgrade which in Canada is $158 after taxes.

    hey guys,

    using this method to install and activate win10 pro x64, will I be able to make HW changes (e.g. new ssd) afterwards to the activated Win10 and then be able to reactivate, if triggered by possible hw change? Or would I have to go through the whole procedure again, like installing Win7 on the changed hw etc. etc.

    You should be OK with all hardware changes except Motherboard and/or CPU. :D
