No Win 10 entitlement on Dell PCs COA sticker "Win 7 Pro OA India"
Unable to get Win 10 entitlement on Dell PCs COA sticker "Win 7 Pro OA India"
I used an answer XML that didnt work too well and had to remove a few fields from it as WSIM would not validate those fields.
Now this is the F up.. Not a single of my Genuine Dell machines has gotten activated. Used this method with fresh Win 10 1511 on an SSD..

Well, here's a tip. Stop doing it that way. Do it my way. I've upgraded 250 PCs in less than 2 months part-time.
1. Get an SSD.
2. Get a Win10 ISO.
3. Open PC. Connect SSD.
4. Do a full install of Win 10 to the SSD. Get your entitlement.
5. Reconnect original HD.
6. Repeat with next PC and Goto 3.
[Edited to clarify that I re-use the SSD for each subsequent PC.
Also, FYI, that you must do an install of W10, either in-place or clean, to get the entitlement. Simply booting to an existing install of W10 will not do it.
This is the comprehensive thread where I tested every combination of upgrade/restore:

Why is it not working?
Their has COA sticker Win 7 Pro OA India. Do I need to use a different .ISO for this?
I used the EN-US as most of my machines come from US, but this org I'm helping has these. .
Is there a quick shortcut fix?
Which "flavor" MSDN ISOs do I need to download?
