Certainly not in my case. This one comes from retail W7 from one of it's first days, updated to SP1, than used for years before upgrading to W8 > 8.1 and all W10 insider versions since day one of W10. The only difference from store bought W7 is that it was bought as cheap (something like 15 -20 or 40 bucks as upgrade from Vista). Entering original license doesn't produce any different results.
MS has acknowledged the proeblem
"ADDED 12/21: We are investigating reports that Windows shows that it “needs activation” and trying to activate fails after upgrading to Build 17063."
And I'm confident it will be fixed but caused me some anxiety by than. For now it's just a temporary nuisance.

I was not suggesting it was true in your case, but many people unknowingly had bought pcs from dealers with Windows installed using such techniques (basically they scam the buyer by charging them for a licence but do not provide a legit one. In days of 7/8.1 nobody would ever know, but regular 10 build upgrades often break it.

Anyway, in your case, it is almost certainly the bug from MS which is good news as it will get fixed.

I am certain this is not related to a hidden future subscription agenda

I have been a Windows 10 Insider for almost 3 years and this is the buggiest build that I have ever installed. There are problems with Edge opening, with settings opening, I have no audio on Edge or Firefox Quantum, and the stupid build broke my boot loader. These are just a sample of some of the issues that this build has caused.

I know that this is an inside build but I sure hope that Microsoft is able to correct all of the issues pretty quickly. I miss using Edge because I have it linked to my email. Oh well.

I just wish I could install any of the RS-4s and I wouldn’t care how buggy it may be :)

You too again? What's the problem this time?

I fixed my boot issues but it required a new installation USB to get to the command prompts to fix it. This really should never have happened on an upgrade to a new build.

I'm really surprised by all of the reports of problems with Build 17063 I have seen here. This was one of the fastest download/installs so far on my Surface 4. The build itself has also been very stable so far.

The problem has always been the same mate, it hasn’t changed :)

Win 10 RS-4 not compatible with Intel DX58SO motherboard

You don't have another machine with FCU on it to play your game(s)?

BTW, how did you get it to install?

Nope, sadly this is my only machine so I cannot have this build installed with such a major bug

I installed it with the old USB switch trick, plugged in the flash drive with the build that can actually be installed and when it got to the choosing partition part ( at which i was getting the error ) i switched the flash drive to the one with 17063 on it, worked like a charm

I wonder if that method would work for me, I’ll have to try it and see :)

Though I’ve tried similar methods before and it wouldn’t install, asking for the correct media to install from.
