    I tried this on a PC with Windows 8 Core preinstalled. Did Windows 7 Ultimate with DAZ loader and activated and upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. It did not retain activation. It seems like it checked the BIOS and found the Windows 8 core key and used that one instead.

    Win7 w/ Daz > Win 10 Pro worked on all of my other Pre-Windows 8 era machines.

    Most likely an hickup during verification.

    MS Server suffer severe DDOSing by people using automatted activation scripts to hammer them with requests.

    Then they come here complaining it doesn't work at all and we were wrong ... WHAT MORONS :laie:.

    That's a possibility since your system was sold with a Windows 8 Core licence within the MSDM table. I'd retry the upgrade though since Microsoft's activation servers are in a mess right now.

    @forbjok
    There's no such checks. I've anaylsed the activation mechanism a while ago now. Could an update change things in the future though? Maybe, but then we'd just roll out a new version of the loader.

    I think the OP's question has been answered here, so I'll now lock this thread since it's pointless to speculate at the moment.
