    Can I purchase this Full version Win10 & not ever call MS to activate?


    Hi I want to purchase this Full version Win10 and hopefully not ever have to call Microsoft to activate on clean installs. Making sure I have no surprises in the future.

    I hope I posted this in the correct thread.

    Windows 10 Pro - Full Version 32 & 64-bit (USB Flash Drive) Model FQC-10069

    1) ' For EXAMPLE ' I want to do a clean install same hardware machine once a week for 52 weeks, will I ever have to call Microsoft to activate this key ?

    2) 'For EXAMPLE ' I build a new hardware PC once a month, continuing for 4 years, starting in January 2019. Before I build February new hardware PC and activate key, I will uninstall OS from January PC that is using this key. Will I have to call Microsoft to activate this key ever ?

    A few more questions please...

    3) If I purchase this version, instead of the OEM license, do I have the flexibility to move it to a brand new machine at a later point in time if I want to ( as long as I uninstall from older machine) without contacting Microsoft ever ?

    4) Since this is Full version it will not be locked or tied to any computer that I install this on. I will be able to reuse this key when the time comes for a hardware upgrade as long as I uninstall from older computer it was installed on ?

    5) Can this be installed on a single computer indefinitely, many clean installs, activated many times , and not have to call Microsoft ?

    6) If I build a new PC I can use the key as long as my older install PC OS is uninstalled , and do I have to contact Microsoft to activate use with new system ?

    7) I do clean installs on my PC often, will I have to contact Microsoft ever to activate ?

    8) I will only have it activated on one machine at any given time, so I won't ever have to call Microsoft to activate new machine correct ?

    Sorry if some questions are similar, I just want to be sure before purchase.

    Would be helpful if you actually purchased this version and have first hand experience with it and activation many times.

    Thanks!

    :)

  2. Activation and Purchasing Win10?


    Hi all,

    I have some questions here below regarding Activation.

    1. If I insert a new hard drive on my notebook and then reinstall Win10, will Win10 still be activated or do I have to purchase another copy of Windows with a different product key for reactivation?
    On my old hard drive, I did a clean install of Win10.

    General question regarding Clean Install and Activation of Win10

    2. As far as my original Win10 installation went, I purchased a copy of Win10 DVD and used the Media Creation Tool to make a USB bootable stick. Then, when I installed Win10, I entered the product key from the Win10 DVD sticker and then I activated it online. So basically, I never had to insert the DVD.
    Is this the overall general practice for users who want to clean install Win10?

    In other words, reading from the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool webpage, it does require users to enter a Product Key. So in this case like me, do people have to go out and purchase a Win10 DVD in order to get the product key and only just use the Media Creation Tool to install Windows?

    That's the way that I did it.



    Thanks!

    Activation options for Win10 with instant clones

    We have a secure (no internet access) lab environment setup to test and validate a VMWare VDI deployment of Win10 clients.

    Our issue is activation of the Win10 clients as they require re-activation every time we logoff and back on because we are using instant clones.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to resolve this? Here are the options we are considering and issues as we understand them:

    • Setup a KMS server
      • Requires a Volume license, which is doable
      • Documentation says we must have a minimum of 25 hosts, we don' have that in our lab
    • Use our MSDN account
      • No support for Win10 KMS license
      • No support for MKS activation
    • Manually activate each time
      • Gonna spend a lot of time on the phone Can I purchase this Full version Win10 & not ever call MS to activate? :(
      • Win10 has no grace period so machines are crippled w/o activation
    Anyone have a thought or suggestions? I'm hoping I missed something.

    Thanks

    Activation and Purchasing Win10?


    The same product key will reactivate Windows 10 again on that computer.

    It is probably not the overall general practice for users who do clean installs. But there is nothing wrong with that method, either.

    Most people are doing upgrades from Windows 7, 8 or 8.1.
