  1. W10 Pro Retail Activation on and W10 Enterprise Eval installation


    Hi everyone.I use the W10 Enterprise Eval ISO in various VM Labs for study purposes.I am also using the W10 Enterprise ISO in a VM on my main computer for connecting to work systems, my initial thought was as I am now working from home permanently I would be able to get a license key assigned from work and join my VM to the work domain. Unfortunately the IT bods are not keen on this idea.Now that I am all set up I'm none to keen to create a new VM with W10 Pro and get everything setup again. I will be purchasing a W10 Retail activation key, my question is what will happen if I enter a W10 Pro

    :)

  2. Retail W10 Pro on usb

    I have a legit retail W10 Pro on a USB.

    The computer it was initially installed on is now a paperweight.

    I have bought a replacement, and installed W10 Pro from the USB. Remember, this is a legitimate MS product.

    Unfortunately, duh!, i did not store the activation key on the cloud, it is stored on the old computers hard drive, which i cannot access.

    Therefore, I installed W10 Pro on a new computer and skipped activation, with the intention to input the activation key as soon as possible. Old computer is under warranty, but service center is closed for duration of lockdowns. I cant wait, therefore bought
    replacement.

    Non-activated W10 Pro as installed has major limitations, including but not limited to the following super-critical ussues:

    1. W10 cannot see the WLAN card,

    2. W10 cannot see the graphics card, only a generic PnP display driver

    3. W10 cannot see an external display

    My understanding is that W10 installed without activation should be fully functional in these respects.

    Is there anything I can do here?

    W10 Home > Pro

    Question:

    right now I made a bootable USB for W10, off my current installation which is a W10 Home.

    Monday I'll use that on my new rig but I want to move to W10 Pro on that one. Is this possible with my bootable USB setup? My guess is that you just re-pick your version based on the activation code, amirite?

  4. W10 Pro Retail Activation on and W10 Enterprise Eval installation

    Can't Activate W10 Pro. Seem to have "Enterprise"

    I paid to upgrade W10 Home to W10 Pro. I keep getting "Activate Windows" message. When I look at Activation in Settings I see Edition is Windows 10 Enterprise. "Can't activate because you don't have a valid digital license." How did this happen and how
    do I fix it?
