    Anyone can verify if it work for Windows 7 Home and 10 Home? I tried many time with 7 Home on very PC and laptops without successfull. Only 7 Pro is OK.

    Never tried personally. But wait... did you realize that you have to install win 10 home and not pro if coming from 7 starter, home basic and home premium?

    Any suggestions on when after dropping the GenuineTicket.xml, it won't "take" (i.e. disappear) in the ClipSVC\GenuineTicket folder? I've ran into several machines that won't take it.

    Can someone just clear something up for me.

    I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit that's activated with Daz Loader.I'm getting a complete new system tomorrow and will be mothballing my current one.

    If I follow the instructions on post #1 and get a GenuineTicket.xml on the PC I'm using now, will I be able to clean install Windows 10 64bit on the new system using the generated ticket or is it hardware specific?

    Thanks.

    It's called a HardWareID, so no, the genuineticket.xml has to be generated at the system (hardware) you want to use it on.

    Can I use the media creation program to make a 64bit ISO that I can burn now to use on the new machine?
    I'm not going to generate a ticket...what I was going to do is:

    1) Install Windows 7 on new machine and activate it with Daz Loader
    2) Use the media creation tool to force the Windows 10 upgrade
    3) Let Windows 10 activate, restart and do clean re-install with the above created Windows 10 DVD.

    Will that work or am I making it more complicated that it needs to be?

    It will work, but is an unneeded waste of time that this thread is trying to avoid.

    But even if you decide to follow to upgrade a fresh w7 installation, what's the point of deleting it and reinstalling fresh?

    An upgraded win10 is as good as a fresh one, especially if the upgrade is done over a freshly installed win7.

    Is that true? I've always assumed not.

    You have to restart twice. Just experienced that myself. Actually got scared there for a minute or two...
    So it's:
    1. paste genuineticket
    2. restart
    3. go online
    4. restart
    5. good to go

    attempting to activate at step 3 still brought error. seems like it doesnt refresh data from genuineticket

    I will say do not worry. It happened to me too. tried activating by pasting genuineticket. rebooted 3-4 times but nothing happened. still there it was.
    then I gave it up.
    But surprisingly on next day I saw it activated.
    So, i will say your system too will be activated later or sooner. you need to give it a time.
