Windows 10 Tweaks

[R-T-B]

No need to tweak WU with enterprise edition, yay!

I so wish that was available in retail channels.

^ Seek the .esd version then convert, Win10 EpE is available. Retail channels? OEM channels.

I thought it only allowed KMS and corporate licensing. Where can I buy it from an OEM? I'd be all over that.

OEM leakage is what I am referring to.

Of course the ISO is available. But how do you legally license it?

I only buy my software legally. Not judging you, but you can see how it frustrates me they won't even take my money.

Call MS and ask to pay for a license, tickle them with money & kindness.

too be honest there is no reason not to legally own windows 10. It kind of irritates me people are spilling nonsense about KMS and activators all over the web. anyone on the average sophistication level atleast here on TPU probably own several windows 7 licenses at the least. Not to mention with all the sketch 3rd aprty site searching and scans with AV and dll hacks and reboots and step 4: unplug Ethernet cable you could just make a Ms account format to 7 upgrade to 10 and clean format if you so choose sign in again and be activated in the same amount of time.

Here's yet another reason automatic driver updates are bad for microsoft's image as a company, by the way. You just can't trust some companies drivers to be unintrusive and STFU during things as basic as install:

This was what inspired me to make my tweak, ironically. Same thing happened to me during the initial upgrade I had to do for licensing reasons.

i got the same thing and it shits me up the wall, everytime i upgraded win10 that popped up and basically paused the install til i got rid of it.

you can streamline this process by writing a powershell script that uses setACL https://helgeklein.com/setacl/
we use it at work to lockout the registry from tardware

Volume Key Licenses, find a way.

I figured there was a way. Thanks. I'll read up on that and make an "easy to use script" soon (few days).

It irritates me too... But I try not to judge people. He may have more important things to spend money on, I was once a "ramen noodles college student" myself who had to skimp on everything so he could afford school and decent flavor packets.

That may or may not be the case here. Again, I try not to judge.

interesting bit of information
if you use a certain windows 7 "activation method" you can upgrade to windows 10 and it will generate you a legit fully re-usable windows 10 key
GJ microsoft

 

[R-T-B]

The key is not generated.

If it thinks the activation is valid it tags the HWID as activated using a generic key.

You can't use the key on another computer though. That generic key (VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T) will only work on HWID auth'd machines.

I posted that a while ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/..._10240_did_you_get_assigned_a_licenseproduct/

I don't see why they don't just give it away personally... it's already infested with data gathering metricware you can be sure they'll sell to third parties...
