[Not working anymore] How to upgrade from W7/8.1 without going through the complete upgrade process

ah that makes sense.. good to have u guys arround thanks for ur help..and thats everyone who assisted!. ill.post back to share how it went... ..bye for now.

 

@name15, slave77 has stepped in and given more than enought good advice.

As he said at one time we though validation was needed but we have since found out not necessary as for Daz loader the only reason to choose the actuall OEM is for branding and if you do actually have branded machine then loader will detect that. Branding has no effect on activation once you install windows 10.

 

thx urie i understand.. then i must have (see details first post) used a diiferent setting when first installing DAZ loader back then. Im on a HP dc5800 microtower.. but DAZ loader info says ASUS (10/26/15 - v2.1) .. Speccy shows indeed mobo Hewlett-Packard This computer came orriginally with windows Vista....took out harddirve and installed w7pro on new one.... if OEM switch is ever needed i go for HP

 

That is not unusuall asus actually make motherboards for various OEM companies just do search on google you will find more info

 

Thanks for the suggestion, I followed a combination of your advice and the advice here and got it to work!

Thanks to everyone who helped out.

 

urie..Thanks.. to all of U everything works and both w7Ultimate and 10pro show activated. (Stil Offline...Copied genuine ticket to correct folder...it dissapeared (like mentioned by s1ave77)...rebooted..and voila! ( install w10 i was also offline)

From what ive learned i can now install whatever w10 pro version i want if im correct.

When i decide to install a different w10 pro,(say different language) should i use same genuine ticket or create a new one with the gatherosstate.exe in that particular ISO to be installed ?

On that machine you simply install Win 10 Pro (any language any architecture) and skip any key prompt, the HWID is saved on MS Servers and will activate the machine when going online after install.

No need to mess with ticket again. Only in case hardware changes it needs to re-do the process. To avoid that, switch to an online account and back to local after a while, this will bind the HWID to your MS account and can be restored/transfered in case of activation problems.

 

Ok hardware change..i get it..... not shure what u mean by online account and local ?

info: did not do "You can place the ticket at the root of drive c:, go online and open an administrative CMD console" clipup -v -o -altto c:\

 

HA! that explains it to me Standard in W10 a microsoft (online) account is used,but thats not allways preferered and people switch to local account....thats what i briefly read about it.....dont need to do a manual registration at microsoft i presume? ..name etc

 

thanks Carlos..was wrong i think it involves creating a microsoft account... that's someting i could do in the near future then...hope nothing breaks in the meantime sleep tight

 

The Windows 10 isos are all multi edition. Home and Pro are bundled together. So when installing remember to create ei.cfg(and make sure it's not ei.cfg.txt) in the sources folder of your Win10 USB with

[Channel]
Retail

You'll need this to select Pro to get activation.

 

Does this method still work as of today?

 

All is still the same, nothing ever changed.

 

I just upgraded a Windows 8 pc (not 8.1) that was bugged with updates terribly outdated and was failing any update including a direct 8.1 update. I upgraded it in Windows using the Windows 10 USB installer with the delete everything option and using this thread's method to create a ticket and inject it and it activated no problems.

If thread creator wants to update that it works with Windows 8 or 8.1, not just 8.1.

 

Hi guys,
i think i f*ked'up the process because i have win10 pro installed and it says:
"Windows is activated using your organization activation service"
(and it should say "Digital licence" if i'm correct?)

Here's what i did:
- I downloaded clean windows8.1 iso (not win7 because my laptop doesn't detect it #UEFI)
- I installed win8.1 on a new partition
- I activated it with MSTK using "ez-activator" button
- I made a GenuineTicket using gatherosstate from the Win10 ISO that i downloaded using media creation tool
- I updated to Win10 using setup.exe from my Win10 ISO
- I disconnected wifi
- I copied / paste genuineticket to the right folder and i rebooted
- I turned on wifi then i rebooted and here i am.

Any advice of what should i do? (i'm quite new to this)

Hopefully you saved a copy of the ticket .

Try to apply the ticket again and reboot. In prior test the MTK task messed with the process. Now with the proper retail key inserted it should work.

 

Yeah don't worry, i have it .

So i added back the genuineticket to the folder, rebooted and now it says:

Code:

“Unable to reach Windows activation servers”

What am i missing?
