Just tested in VM. Code: C:\Windows\system32>MBR2GPT /validate /allowFullOS MBR2GPT: Attempting to validate disk 0 MBR2GPT: Retrieving layout of disk MBR2GPT: Validating layout, disk sector size is: 512 bytes MBR2GPT: Validation completed successfully Code: C:\Windows\system32>MBR2GPT /convert /disk:0 /allowFullOS MBR2GPT will now attempt to convert disk 0. If conversion is successful the disk can only be booted in GPT mode. These changes cannot be undone!

Hopefully I don't get in trouble for posting this into 3 different threads, but this is probably the right thread. I am having some activation issues that are strange when deploying images for windows 10 1703 build 15063 (creators update) If doing an in-place upgrade of a windows 10 install to b15063 in a system that already had a digital license, it will activate fine. If doing a clean install of win 10 b15063 in a system that already had a digital license, it will activate fine. However, if deploying from an image to a system that already had a digital license, it will NOT activate. Base windows 10 b15063 install created and tweaked in a system that already had a digital license where it activated fine. Image is created from this install. No sysprep. Then, deploying said image to a different system that already had a digital license, it will not activate in the new system The hardware is identical, so the image deployment is the faster route of configuration. When trying to run the activation troubleshooter in the new PC, I get the message "A digital license for windows 10 home has been found for this system running windows 10 home. Install windows 10 home to activate" No sysprep applied to the windows install before creating the image, and the image is being created using Norton Ghost 11.5 I have done it this way a lot of times in previous win10 builds (1511 and 1607) and it worked fine. At most, it took 1-2 reboots after the image was deployed on the new system to pick the activation Images are being deployed to PCs that ALREADY have a valid Win 10 digital license Thoughts?
i have tried with build 14393 to add enterprise image to the combined image. lots of errors like "warning 40000 dublicate blobs" appeared when building iso image with this combined+enterprise image. i have used abbodi1406's esd-decrypter program
I just exported the 15063 enterprise index into the combined 15063 wim, the other night, on 14393.970 with no adk at all installed at that time.
using the same unattended.xml in th1,th2,rs1 on rs2, i get a new ?oobe? screen asking to enter region, and keyboard(and any extra) any idea how to get past this?
Is there any reliable way to programmatically change the default browser? We're running into issues with Edge with some of our apps. I've tried all sorts of registry things but Windows retains a hash for the file association and any attempt to "not nicely" change the value of the association forces Windows to just reset it back to Edge. I'd even settle for forcing up the browser selection box.
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 After sysprepping all my custom app preferences also lost. So searching about this problem found about from which file Windows reads default app preferences. C:\Windows\System32\OEMDefaultAssociations.xml So before generalizing after all my app preference set in Settings and Control Panel i use this commands Dism.exe /Online /Get-DefaultAppAssociations Dism.exe /Online /Remove-DefaultAppAssociations Dism.exe /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:C:\AppAssoc.xml Dism.exe /Online /Import-DefaultAppAssociations:C:\AppAssoc.xml Dism.exe /Online /Get-DefaultAppAssociations If everything sets as i wish i will delete C:\AppAssoc.xml file and sysprep. My custom app preferences survives sysprepping. There is some discussion about dism import DefaultAppAssociations related problem httts://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/d5fad871-8f5e-4c74-abaf-627809f8844b/dism-import-defaultappassociations-doesnt-work-anymore-since-build-1511?forum=win10itprosetup
