  • windows installation in new VM blocked

    From Wendelin Uez@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 17 17:18:59 2024
    A VM running Windows was deleted, a new VM created and tried to install
    Windows again. This failed because the old VM still registered at Microsoft blocks a new installation.

    Is there a chance to unlock thsi blocking while not having any access to the
    no longer existing old VM?

    During the installation?
    IIRC it is possible to install without a key and then use the
    activation assistant and use the phone number. Those people can reset
    the counter.

    Installing a new Windows in the newly created VM requires to enter the
    license key which will be rejected because with this key already another Windows is installed - of course, the last one, lost by deleting the old
    VM.

    You may want to repost this to one or more of the alt.* Windows
    groups. They have a much larger audience than this group, including
    several people using VMs.

    You don't mention which version of Windows, so I give some possible candiates:

    alt.comp.os.windows-11
    alt.comp.os.windows-10
    alt.comp.os.windows-8
    alt.windows7.general

    Windows 98 - You can install with
    key but do not bother making any snapshots. Will not work correctly.

    Windows XP - You need to find the key hidden on the disc, or use Key
    finder, afterwards you need to set up so it will activate as normal (
    despite being online or offline ).
    Windows Vista - = Same thing basically
    Windows 7 - You need to install the OS and then activate from within.

    Windows 10 - Just do not bother registering at all. Instead use
    "Winstep Nexus" as a explorer alternative. Even if you move
    the installation any store-apps will have to re-register because it is
    locked to the hardware.

    Windows 11 - There is a Remover for Windows 11 but with each update it
    makes it pointless. Same as above, do not bother and just find a
    resource to install from. Otherwise. You can install Windows 11
    without any of the Windows 11 bs.

    OSX - You need the .ISO files for the installation but once installed
    and setup.

    ................


    I am talking VMware not Hyper-V. Hyper-V can do all of the above but
    it is a different method but most commonly used, as it is more easier
    to work with. ( Cheaper I guess ??? ). With Hyper-V and correct
    settings you could android running with GPU support. Vmware needs the
    special files via the Linux command emulator

    With Hyper-V you might have to install via regular means and make a
    bootable backup to use in Hyper-V.
