I previously had windows 7 ultimate installed on my computer using the digitalriver iso. This was activated using Windows Loader and passed as genuine under the system settings. I successfully completed the upgrade to Windows 10 which also showed as genuine. I then "reset my pc" via the recovery options to install a clean copy of Windows 10. This shows as genuine as well. It appears to be working.
If doing a clean install of Windows 7, is it nessasary to install all updates before upgrading with the iso ? There is like 200+ updates to install, so if not needed I could spare some time. If Windows 7 is installed with legacy bios, and then upgraded to Windows 10 and activated. Would it get at different hwid if Windows 10 got clean installed with UEFI ?
As long as your Windows 7 has SP1, is genuine and activated, you can go ahead and upgrade with the ISO.
Hi, using Daz loader on Win7 pro upgrade to Win10, run slmgr.vbs /dli. Activation channel is Retail? ends with 3V66T?
the 5 gb of garbage are the windows.old files, the installation temporal files and some other windows related undo files... all of them can be removed using the windows cleaning tool in the disk properties (check system files)
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB fails to activate using DAZ loader 2.2.2 (which i believe is the latest) Unsupported system type is the error Anyone else had any joy
Windows Loader is not for Windows 10, you use it for Windows 7 and then upgrade to 10. LTSB uses volume licensing and needs KMS solution, check the KMS section.
Toying with the idea of attempting an upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10. My copy passes online Windows Validation (after a few attempts, servers still overloaded?) but I originally activated using version 2.1.7 of the loader. Is there any merit in installing version 2.2.2, or will version 2.1.7 give me just as much chance of success?
Option 5 doesn't do what it's supposed to, not on the "metro update" settings window anyway, the old update settings window seems to be gone in the final version of W10. Option 5 set's the update setting to "automatic (recommended)", which is then blocked from changing, instead of enabling the drop down menu where you can select what you want. Tried setting it through gpedit and later the registry, both didn't enable the drop down menu. I am guessing that setting only works with the old update-settings window, not the metro equivalent. Luckily option 2 actually works
So installed 7 home, its genuine. How do i do the upgrade to windows 10, ive downloaded the iso from here (hxxp://microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench) "Windows 10 N X64" Used Rufus to place it on usb. Run setup on 7 and it comes up asking for key, but i cant skip that part.
How about if i simply uninstall Daz loader without reinstalling win 10 would it still remain activated?
Just an FYI, id refresh your Windows Loeader activate before you upgrade... I used Windows Loader probably 2 years ago... during the upgrade Windows 10 installation errored, it knew i had an illegal copy and it even deactivated my copy... I just reactivated and then it worked fine.
I was thinking the same. Don't want Microsoft to detect the presence of the loader and nuke my activation. Also, how long should I wait after upgrading to be sure Microsoft has actually saved my hardware info? Can I do the clean install as soon as I see that Windows 10 is activated, or should I wait a while? Finally, thanks, Daz, for your excellent loader. Such a joy to see that the activation survived the upgrade process.
During the Upgrade the boot sector gets rewritten and the Loader is gone. Windows 10 doesn't seem to check if any SLIC is still present in BIOS to determine the Upgrade was legit. If it start such checks ... there will rise a cure.
