Just to make sure, do I need to use both HWIDGen and KMS38 for LTSC 2019 v17763.1 or do I just need one of them specifically? Also, a link and/or guide would be greatly appreciated! @Mandy Oh, I just installed it with only the SSD connected so there should be no problems right? I'll connect my HDD later on after I'm done installing drivers.
Auto-edited even, someone here really hates KMS38. It's pretty easy to make a USB install stick for UEFI from Windows without using a tool like Rufus. It's actually easier than MBR since you don't need to mark a partition active and install a boot sector. Just configure the USB stick with diskpart as normal, but add the "convert gpt" comand. Looks like this; list disk sel disk <number for usb stick> clean convert gpt create part pri format fs=fat32 quick Mount the iso and copy over all the files, done.
This is the AV interfering, can you manually hash the eval iso and post it here? And what happens when you re-do all with the exact same settings?
Manual hash results CRC32 7B0F7C97 MD5 B254BA13C50D777E4776A98684E11E11 SHA-1 369E645A197BC2CA8309CB80467A85A16EACD1A7
The sha-1 is correct: Code: 20:44:24 EVAL Name: 17763.107.101029-1455.rs5_release_svc_refresh_CLIENT_LTSC_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us 20:44:24 EVAL Hash: 369e645a197bc2ca8309cb80467a85a16eacd1a7 Somehow, the AV is interfering.
Disable it if you experience problems with conversation, please post back result. Tool? Both CMD and GUI -> #1 will do the job, CMD is updated. Other than that it´s more a question of personal preference.
