    Questions from the Sandbox


    Hello everyone,

    I have a few questions about Windows Sandbox:

    1) How do I 'sign-in' Sandbox with the Administrator's account? (I know how to expose the Administrator's account.)

    2) How do I or how come Windows is not activated in the Sandbox? (I don't have an extra Product Key and see question 3.)

    3) Why do I get the Enterprise version of Windows (and not Windows 10 Pro) when I am in the Sandbox? (see screenshots below (Host is Windows 10 Pro and Sandbox is Windows Enterprise.)

    Hello everyone,

    Questions 2 and 3 have been answered in this old thread I found. Win Sandbox is enterprise and not activated.

    I still have not found out how to sign-in as Administrator into Windows Sandbox.

    Kind regards,

    I do not think it is possible to sign in with the hidden Administrator account.

    Hi cereberus,

    That's a bit of a bummer. Thanks for getting back to me. I greatly appreciate.
