It won't work. Have missed that you try to activate different SKU's. Have edited my reply you have quoted....
how to disable windows defender? windows service turned off ok ı see windows defender optinos....thanks..
Just set this and restart Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender] "DisableAntiSpyware"=dword:00000001
Got a watermark that is asking me to Activate now, how do I get rid of it without activating, I want to go back to Windows 8 but don't want to format till tomorrow.
So, if I use a retail key (found online, Skype activation method) to upgrade to W8.1 with it, will it work? Thank you.
Is it possible to activate a clean install of the MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.1.ENTERPRISE.RTM.X64.VOLUME.ENGLISH.DVD-WZT using the Windows.8.pro.X64 originality activated via phone key ?
Ahoy maties! It's that time again eh? I love coming back to this place. I've come to confirm something. If ye land lubbers were the lucky few to activate windows 8 "Enterprise" by phone (permanent activation, very lucky)... sadly you cannot install 8.1 enterprise and stay activated. If one wanted to reinstall Win8 Ent, all they would have to do is backup an copy the "store" folder (tokens) in safe mode and reboot. This will not work as a means to activate Win 8.1 Ent. So if you were thinking about updating, don't do it yet. Solutions will be available soon enough
I was able to install the 8.1 preview drivers on my installation of Pro 8.1. I'm using a HD 6800 series card. Duel monitors working fine. No problems as of yet. Bu I just got this thing setup and activated. So time will tell. Tekman_1
I realise we can't activate without valid keys at the moment but is there any way to suppress the 'Activate your PC' go to PC settings full screen takeover that happens once every few hours?
Sorry what I meant to ask was is it possible to activate a clean install of the MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.8.1.RTM.X64.ENGLISH.DVD-WZT not the ( ENTERPRISE ) Edition using the the Key I originality got via phone activation from my Windows.8.pro.X64 ??
/edit opps I see you meant from the phone activation string. No that string changes, even if everything is the same. Yes use the pro or core key provided to install. Which ever you need. for your retail key version. On first boot change the key to your retail. reboot Control panel. Add feature insert your WMC and install. It will reboot and all will be activated.
