hey guys is there an easy way to go from LTSB to CB? I got a work laptop with LTSB loaded and activated.... Thanks
Swap EditionID before upgrade: e.g. Upgrade EnterpriseS to Enterprise Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "EditionID"="Enterprise" Upgrade Enterprise to EnterpriseS Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "EditionID"="EnterpriseS" [Note] This applies to all available editions. e.g. EnterpriseN, EnterpriseSN e.g. Upgrade Enterprise to EnterpriseSN Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "EditionID"="EnterpriseSN" Upgrade EnterpriseSN to Pro Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] "EditionID"="Professional"
I thought but seemed a stupid definition, at least until both are stuck on 10240. Whatever. Xinso's solution is the right one (and works for PRO as well)
Yeah, Thanks. And we can do the Cross-Language upgrade too. You are the expert at this. Normally, we can simply change the system language by adding a language pack and modify the MUI registry. But this is not easy for normal users, and the conversion potentially would not be complete, especiall for Windows 8.*. e.g. Metro apps. So personnally I would do the Cross-Language upgrade to get complete conversion without a hassle.
Yes. Lot of experience there. I think I was the only person in my country with NT4 Server in my language. Anyway the difference here is that product id change is immediate while LCID change requires a reboot. Yes I have yet to figure how change the language to the metro apps, maybe it's because I don't use them
Please have a look to see if I am following your instruction correctly? Immediately Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\MUI\UILanguages\zh-TW] Requiring a reboot Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Nls\Language] "InstallLanguage"="0404" "Default"="0404" "InstallLanguageFallback"=hex(7):65,00,6e,00,2d,00,55,00,53,00,00,00,00,00 Thanks. [Note] I have tried to kill explorer.exe and restart it to no avail. Edit: Oh... You were saying product id change. Got it.
No both requires a reboot. The second one wouldn't survive to a reboot if you don't have the first. Anyway. If you do this kind of mod to in place upgrade on a different language is enough. If, instead, you're doing it to use the MUIs from a different build, is better to put in the whole key content on the first one Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages\en-US] "LCID"=dword:00000409 "Type"=dword:00000111 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MUI\UILanguages\it-IT] "DefaultFallback"="en-US" "en-US"=hex(7):00,00,00,00 "LCID"=dword:00000410 "Type"=dword:00000092 This is EN + IT, for example.
So, to conclude: 1. Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Nls\Language] "InstallLanguage"="0404" "Default"="0404" "InstallLanguageFallback"=hex(7):65,00,6e,00,2d,00,55,00,53,00,00,00,00,00 2. Reboot Right? (This is OK because we do it only once. I only wish to get hundreds of ESD links without the need of reboot in order to save time and the PC life.)
To conclude Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language] "InstallLanguage"="0410" This ^^ is for upgrading on another language Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language] "InstallLanguage"="0410" "Default"="0410" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Locale] "(Default)"="00000410" This ^^ is If you want to use MUIs from another build (copy them by hand from windows.old or from a localized WIM)
tbh I'm just running CBB (enabled Defer Upgrades). That way everyone will veto Threashold 2 and it should be stable once it's deployed a few months down the line for CBB. Tho I might try to stay on 10240 since it's stable. I'm sure there will be specific programs that won't work in TH2 since it has a new memory manager. Google had to release a Chrome update because it crashed on startup with it.
Where dit you get the CBB version if I my ask ? or is it the plain Enterprise edition ? I'm a bit confused about that
If the laptop was issued to you by your workplace, it's their property. Also, they've likely got it locked down so you can't go messing with it. IMO, go buy your own laptop for personal use.
It only stands for current branch for business, Enterprise. Then you have the LSTB, Long term Service Branch.
Oke thx I just went from LTSB to Enterprise and lost my activation LTSB was permanent activated and Enterprise does not let me activate with the LTSB key but for god sake we have KMS_V_All solution so no wories
