  1. Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms during windows 10 installation


    I want to clean install windows 10 1809 on my Lenovo G40-45 with usb stick


    Because the install.wim is too big for fat32 so i splited it with dism command


    Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:I:\sources\install.wim /SWMFile:H:\sources\install*.swm /FileSize:4096


    Where I: is my mounted ISO and H: is my usb stick


    The command operation was succesful and returned install.swm and install2.swm in H:\sources\


    I booted the usb and then selecting windows version i want to install, which is windows 10 Education. After that, the error pop up


    "Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms. Make sure your installation sources are valid and restart the installation."


    How to fix this error ?

    Do i miss something on splitting the install.wim?


    I already downloaded the iso multiple times from Microsoft. Still no luck.


    Please help me.

    :)

    License Agreement Confusion Causes Misinformation over Windows 10 Overreach

    Over the last weekend there's been quite some misinformation doing the rounds, stating that a license agreement you agreed to before upgrading to Windows 10, allows Microsoft to remotely disable pirated software (eg: games, apps). This may have caused fence-sitters on the Windows 10 upgrade to decide to stay on older platforms, and for some to even revert to their older Windows 7 installations. It turns out, that the situation has been grossly misread.

    Microsoft Services EULA is the one which states that Microsoft may "prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices," however, this is not the license that governs your Windows installation. It only pertains to "Microsoft Services" (Windows Store content, Xbox Live, live tiles, etc.) The license governing Windows is the MSLT (Microsoft Software License Terms), and so there won't be a case of Microsoft reaching out to disable pirated software from running on Windows.

    Yet this says otherwise:

    Microsoft Windows 10 comes with yet another caveat. If you are running any pirated games or counterfeit software on your Windows 10 machine, then according to the latest addition to the End User Licence Agreement terms of conditions Microsoft has the power to remotely uninstall such software.

    This statement was spotted by PC Authority in the EULA and lets Microsoft not only disable counterfeit software but also hardware. According to Section 7b or “Updates to the Services or Software, and Changes to These Terms,” part of the Microsoft Services end user license agreement (EULA) it states that, “Sometimes you’ll need software updates to keep using the Services. We may automatically check your version of the software and download software updates or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices. You may also be required to update the software to continue using the Services.”

    Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
