Issue restoring a Windows 10 image onto new 8.1 laptop.
Hi.
We have received 50 windows laptops. All are pre-loaded with Windows 8.1.
We are looking to deploy a Windows 10 image on to these laptops, but we are having issues with the Licence activation.
I updated one laptop from 8.1 to 10. Setup as required and ran Sysprep. I then took a system image.
When I restore the image onto another laptop (Brand new, first time switch on), it restores the image, but the windows will not activate.
Speaking to the Microsoft support their only suggestion is to role back to 8.1 and manually update to Windows 10 to verify the licence.
Is there a better way for us to this? Can I amend the image before sysprep'ing to help? Thanks.
