    With a OEM (shop bought) PC such as a HP, Acer etc if you remove the oem's.7z then the project will ignore branding side and attempt to activate via the OEM method if possible.

    The project has not changed in that respect.

    Most of the new changes cover Windows 8.x/10.

    For Windows Vista/7 the project code is pretty much the same as it always was only a few new information wording bits here and there.

    Yeah also I think you've changed WinTel a little bit so that made me happy :) Anything helps with privacy...

    Wintel has only had a few minor changes, i left it as it was mostly. just added a bit here and there to cover latest telemetry but not over the top changes.

    Been a while since i touched that file lol.

    If you can, you should try to improve it. Privacy is as important as security for most people here on MDL.

    My personal versions of wintel.cmd and UserTweaks.cmd has more advanced stuff in, which i not use in the public one because not everyone would welcome such changes.

    Everyone has their own preferences and i try to keep MRP as neutral as possible.

    Hence why the options within oobe.cmd are 'off' by default, so the user can make a choice and not have it 'forced' upon them.

    When i get more time i will see what new privacy/telemetry tweaks can be added and check that they not cause something else to 'break'. I am one to test and re-test to make sure things work as they should, i admit i make a few mistakes but as most know i fix them as soon as possible. :)

    MRP 69.0 is out of testing (yes i kept it quiet) ;) :p

    Archive uploaded and new password in the first post's download spoiler.

    As today is 1 year since i took over the project :eek: I thought it fitting to put a release together for that occasion and with a suitable code named file.

    Quick Summary

    + Added a new bit to Licensed line in that on Windows 10 if the computer was online during installation and is activated via a 'HWID Digital License' then MRP will show that text. It is a simple check so it may say that even when a retail 7/8.1/10 key is used as most are converted to a DL i believe.

    + Little re-wording here and there.

    Some other code tweaks nothing exciting and mainly are for internal testing modes.

    Here is a log with the HWID DL showing...
    Code:
    Multi-OEM/Retail Project Version : 171015-R69.0 - Baseline  [MRP/MDL]

    If you have a COA key for Windows 7 Pro then you could 'upgrade' to Pro version. That is the easiest method without loosing any data and would give you a HWID/Digital License for Pro as well as Home.

    A re-installation would require a ei.cfg file to be placed in the USB/DVD Sources folder as described in the readme in the MRP archive so that you can select Pro from the list or it would install Home by default.

    Otherwise there are two routes, change bios to legacy/MBR/CSM install 7 Pro, then follow this info... https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...g-through-the-complete-upgrade-process.64770/

    Or use the standard W10 Pro key to 'upgrade' then use a kms solution.

    But the computer would run Pro with no problem there is plenty of ram. The specs look ok. My old boss had a Surface 3 on windows 8.1 Pro, i upgraded that to W10 Pro and it seems faster and the cpu wasnt as fast as the one in your device!
