[TOOL] EzWindSLIC: Easily activate Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008-2019 on UEFI-GPT

Hi, Why only Windows server Standard edition is supported in 2019 series? Or the list is not updated in first post?

I mean why other are not added?

 

Hello @Exe Csrss,
because I more like W7 than W10, so, I decided to add my contribution to your project.

I have tried to use your work on VM with (U)EFI, but there is no CSM/Legacy BIOS, so, I tested it on W8.1.


Original Script part:

Code:

@echo off
title Original Script part
set "_eline=call :colortxt ********ERROR******** %red%"
set "_pak=echo Press any key to exit... & pause %_nul% & goto exit"
set "_nul=1>nul 2>nul"
set DateTime=%date% %time%
rem script part
:mntesp
echo:
for %%# in (Q W E R T Y U I O P A S D F G H J K L Z X C V B N M) do if exist %%#:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\en-US\*.mui set _espalreadymount=%%#
if defined _espalreadymount (
    echo EFI System Partition already mounted at %_espalreadymount%:
    set _ltr=%_espalreadymount%:
)
if not defined _espalreadymount for %%# in (Q W E R T Y U I O P A S D F G H J K L Z X C V B N M) do (mountvol /? | find /i "%%#:" %_nul% || set "_ltr=%%#:")
if not defined _espalreadymount (
    mountvol %_ltr% /s %_nul%
    if exist %_ltr%\EFI (
        echo EFI System Partition successfully mounted at %_ltr%.
    ) else (
rem        %_eline%
        echo Failed to mount EFI System Partition at %_ltr%.
rem        %_pak%
    )
)
rem exit /b

:exit
mountvol %_ltr% /d >nul 2>&1
rem end of script part
echo. %DateTime%

echo _ltr=%_ltr%

   )
)

Mount to a Folder:

Code:

@echo off
title Mount to a Folder
set "_eline=call :colortxt ********ERROR******** %red%"
set "_pak=echo Press any key to exit... & pause %_nul% & goto exit"
set "_nul=1>nul 2>nul"
set DateTime=%date% %time%
rem script part
:mntesp
echo:
::for %%# in (Q W E R T Y U I O P A S D F G H J K L Z X C V B N M) do if exist %%#:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\en-US\*.mui set _espalreadymount=%%#
for /f %%W in (' mountvol /? ^| find ":\" ') do if exist %%W\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD set _espalreadymount=%%W
if defined _espalreadymount (
    echo EFI System Partition already mounted at %_espalreadymount%:
    set _ltr=%_espalreadymount%
) else goto :MntESPpart
goto :MntEspNext
:MntESPpart
set _ltr=%WinDir%\Temp\EfiSysPart
if not exist "%_ltr%"    mkdir "%_ltr%"
mountvol "%_ltr%" /s %_nul%
if exist "%_ltr%\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD" (
   set _unmount=%_ltr%
   echo EFI System Partition successfully mounted at %_ltr%.
) else (
rem   %_eline%
   echo Failed to mount EFI System Partition at %_ltr%.
rem   %_pak%
)
:MntEspNext
rem exit /b
:: (...)
:exit
::mountvol %_ltr% /d >nul 2>&1
if defined _unmount (
   echo Unmounting EFI System Partition at %_unmount%.
   mountvol "%_unmount%" /d >nul 2>&1
   rmdir /q "%_unmount%"
)
rem end of script part
echo. %DateTime%
echo. %date% %time%
echo _ltr=%_ltr%
echo _unmount=%_unmount%
pause

And replace:

Code:

:exit
mountvol %_ltr% /d >nul 2>&1

to the more flexible solution in given examples.
Because in my opinion you don't need to unmount the ESP partition if your script not mounted it.


Check the examples, and add one of them if you like it.

BTW, because the poll is closed, I will say that not use PowerShell if you don't really need it. Not everyone has hundred of RAM and NVME SSD in RAID array.

P.S.
M$ should test their OS on the cheapest computers/laptops from the market, then the OS will be much better optimized.

 

Hi, I was gonna activate Win7 Ultimate but AIO script hangs on Loading .. forever. Same for traditional version. What coulb be the issue here?

 

Yeah I tried that, didnt help. But I managed to install and activate finally, very good work.

Thing is I had to press Enter couple times, it didnt switch from the "Loading" stage by itself on my machine for some reason. Other issue was when I was starting it from a desktop location, it was not able to find the correct path to a script again after pressing Enter, because of the special char in my user name. Just a minor glitches though, but took me an hour or so to figure it out. Frustration and bashing the Enter key actually helped this time. THanks again for this script.

 

Tried it on clean win7 install on a asus z390 mobo nothing worked . but my own win7 activation script worked like a charm.

 

your ezwindslic aio or trad script any version till 3.01

 

stuck without showing anything just after user execute it with elevated prevelages.

 

For sure i will try your ezwindslic ver 3.02 script the day when some system owner comes to me for win7 related issues n asked me for a fress efi install like the same this z390 mobo owner requested me to install win7 on his new build system.
people are going back to win7 due to this win11 promos . thats very good n people must be with win7 as later builds are just a crap.
