    New install of NEW win10 give error "Windows cannot read


    I recently purchased a NEW RETAIL copy of win10 as I was building a computer with a new MB. When I tried to start the install process with this, the install program pops up a window that states "Windows cannot read the <ProductKey> from the unattended answer file. How can I correct this or do I need to get a replacement copy?

    :)

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
