Hello Gerry, :)
Using the method below should work best for that.

Oh shoot. Already took out and installed SSD on new system lol lemme put it back and generate the xml file. Good thing I read this first
Installed the way you mentioned, but after several reboots, I get no activation... Should I look for the win 7 key and enter it in 10?
Gerry,
Was the Windows 7 activated when you created the GenuineTicket.xml file?
Was the edition of Windows 10 you installed for the correct upgrade path from your Windows 7?
ex: Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro = No
Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro = Yes
7 professional
You could try entering the Windows 7 Pro key, but I'm not sure it'll activate or not since Windows 10 was never activated on the PC yet to have a digital entitlement.
Worse case, you may need to install and activate Windows 7, and upgrade to Windows 10 Pro.
Ok thats what I might do, though I did go looking for the Keys and cant seem to find the dvd case with the key, I have the PC name written on the case. I have the two other, but not this one. Although there is another dvd case with a win 7 key that has no writings on it, it might be that one lol
I'll have to check tomorrow, worst case I will use the key from one of the other two, since I am parting them out.
thanks
Does this erase hidden and remapped sectors Shawn? I think that the Diskpart command, Clean All, fulfills that.
