    When the Windows ISO contains more than the Professional index (the most ISOs contain Home, Pro and some more) the ei.cfg file is needed.

    It will not replace the other license, the HWIDs can be stacked for a machine. I have VMs with ~6 HWIDs assigned to them and all work side-by-side, would assume @Enthousiast can top this count.

    Hey guys,

    I finally decided to get a new computer and went all in on an HP Spectre x360. It should be arriving in a few days. I noticed it comes with Windows 10 Home installed, I would like to upgrade that to Professional, so I'm thinking of doing the Windows 7/DAZ/gatherosstate/Windows 10 clean install method. But I've read that since this computer only has USB 3.0, Windows 7 might not be able to install since Windows 7 doesn't come with the drivers for USB 3.0 by default.

    I've read some ways to create a custom ISO whereby you can add your own USB 3.0 drivers, but I thought I'd ask on here first to see if someone has already created/shared an ISO with the needed drivers.

    Thanks in advance!

    I can't seem to get this to work.

    Here are my steps:
    • I installed a clean install of Windows 7 SP1 x64 English (There doesn't seem to be a uk or english international version).
    • I ran Daz Loader and got activated offline.
    • I ran gatherosstate from desktop from a Windows 10 iso and got the GenuineTicket.
    • I clean installed Windows 10 Threshold 2 x64 english international iso (with ei.cfg in sources so I could pick pro) and when finished I rebooted.
    • I copied GenuineTicket.xml to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket. I rebooted again.
    • I went online. I checked to see if Windows 10 Pro is activated
    I now have this showing in activation window: "Activation failed because this device doesn't have a valid digital entitlement or product key. Error code: 0x803F7001"

    Please help me solve this. I really want a digital entitlement. Thank you.

    Do you still have the genuineticket.xml?

    If so, run this in an elevated cmd:
    Code:
    clipup -v -o -altto x:\
    x:\ being the place where the genuineticket is saved.

    Don't use TH2,use RS3 iso(for both gatherosstate & clean install).
