Windows has been making it more difficult to boot with windows without a key. For Windows 11, they removed the "skip" and "I don't have internet" options while starting up, essentially forcing you to enter a key. There's actually a task manager workaround for that, but it baffles my mind!

A retail version (not the white OEM envelope) have a activation code that can be migrated to one machine (tied to the motherboard) instead of being tied to a particular motherboard (e.g. OEM keys are non-transferrable despite saying it's linked to your MS account) I had a retail version activated on my pocket pc which I ditched, but I am able to use the troubleshooter and migrate my license to a thinkpad. However, as said, there might be a finite number of times you can migrate the license, and I don't see a reason running a non-activated windows (to test components with a specific motherboard) is a issue. Just make sure your own PC motherboard is tied to a activated code. OEM or retail.

@drbawb

2 жыл бұрын

This is the only correct take, the red sticker on the envelope is a dead giveaway. The reason he's having problems is because those are system builder keys, they *must* be preinstalled on a PC that is resold, and they're tied to the motherboard. Moving it to a new motherboard, or using it for purposes other than preinstallation, is actually a violation of the license. On the contrary the licensee of a retail key can use it on any PC as long as one instance of it is running at a time; and they have a virtually infinite amount of reactivations. (As long as you don't get the key blacklisted w/ a suspicious pattern of activations.) His use-case is perfectly supported, in a number of ways actually, he just bought the wrong license. What MSFT probably *wants* him to do is sign a volume agreement so they can audit him at will ;-). He could also pay a few grand a year on MSDN subscriptions - then his employees can use any supported version of Windows on whatever hardware they want for development/testing purposes.

@klopferator

Ай бұрын

Long time since this comment was posted, but my own experience from a few weeks ago prompted me to write an answer: I've built my PC over a year ago and used an unused Win 8 retail licence I had lying around to activate win 10. Worked like a charm, licence was linked to my account. No problem, right? Wrong. Turns out that each time I upgraded my mainboard BIOS Windows internally perceived that as a hardware change. (I don't know why it happened, but if you have a Gigabyte mainboard you better watch out.) And the last BIOS update just straight up deactivated Windows. I couldn't reactivate it, Windows and the microsoft support site said the key wasn't valid for any more activations. So there was a retail key from a boxed windows version I legitimally bought and MS basically told me to go f myself just because of some BIOS updates.

Awesome video, point well made!

I wonder if they have ever considered going with a Retail Version of windows, which allows you to move your license from one pc to another, yes you would have to deactivate the license on the computer it is being used on prior, but it works.

That's actually how it normally works with windows. Just ya know. Like most things. It may or may not work. Personally I've missed several crippling updates because windows can no longer be updated without wiping my drive. For some reason.

I remember that when Microsoft presented the activation in windows xp, this was a combination of the motherboard, the processor and the network card, I don't know if it is still like that.

Never once have I entered a product key during the Windows install process.

I've always had custom-built ordered PCs, and every time the license was stored on the motherboard itself. Every time I upgraded memory i.e. swap out HDD for SSD, I would download and install windows fresh but wouldn't be prompted to activate windows as it's activated on the MB.

I have a question about your test rig. You plug your windows ssd in and fire it up, on other videos do benchmarks. Isn't a clean install necessary any more or is windows getting more like Linux and uses the hardware detected at each boot.

It's not pirating if you're officially downloading the ISO from their website which is free, and installing it, and having an option to not install a product key and still works as fine, just with a watermark and locked wallpaper options.

@ALifeOfWine

Жыл бұрын

I know this is a bit of an old comment but you can actually change your wallpaper on a locked os by going into the registry and swapping out the default background with whatever image you want. Only caveat is you have to restart your pc for it to take effect.

hahah this was my problem for like 3 years of swapping out parts all the time. Ended up just leaving it - but recently Windows has a way better activation platform - apparently I have three licences that I have purchased over the years, two of which we're active - so all I had to do was reassign the liscence and then upgrade to Win 11 was also then available.

In general most courts if most countries have struck down EULAs repeatably. License terms has to be specified at or before purchase, license terms that are told later or you are asked to to agree to later are not legally binding. The OEM deals are different in that they are terms the OEM agrees to, depending on the size of the company asking OEMs to agree to terms that might be illegal due to anti-trust or completely legal. But one thing that is completely legal in any case, is using one of those licenses if you get it, the OEM that sold you it, may or may not be guilty of contract violation, but that isn't your problem. And these days you get the windows OEM licenses from normal retailers, not from OEM breaking contracts like we did 15 years ago.
