    Hi!

    I'm gonna need to do some experimenting with Win 10 Pro, so I thought i'd install it in Vmware.
    Do I have a "grace period" of a few days ,(So I can snapshot it and reset), or do I have to activate it
    to function properly?

    I guess the Win 7 Ultimate + Daz loader => Win 10 Pro upgrade solution isn't avaliable anymore,
    but some people still say it works?

    On a sidenote, when gatherosstate reads the "hardware" of a machine, to produce it's fingerprint, and
    Vmware being "all virtual", shouldn't there be a "validated" Program version of Vmware that installs a machine
    that is registered on MS servers with the Digital Entitlement?
    (I mean one that installs a Vm that has the right fingerprint/Hash to activate automatically)

    Or perhaps some VMDK disk & accompanying setup file that does the same, (Like a whole computer)....

    Ps. don't suggest kms solution, I wanna deal with Pro, not the Enterprise stuff

    Cheers :D
