    Retail obviously.
    VL can be activated by KMS activators but the purpose of this thread to establish HWID or get Digital Entitlement which means OEM/retail ISOs should be used.

    The question is now : after 16/1/18, what about using the gatherosstate.exe method or start setup from a Windows 10 Iso?

    I activated Windows 7 with Daz loader and generated a genuine ticket file, will it activate Windows 10 if I uninstall the loader (by reformatting the drive) ?

    If the genuineticket.xml is generated on a daz activated 7 sp1 you can clean install 10 and insert the ticket following the guidelines at the OP. Daz loader won't be present anymore after a format/install of 10.

    You don't need 1511 here.
