windows installation in new VM blocked

[Wendelin Uez]

A VM running Windows was deleted, a new VM created and tried to install
Windows again. This failed because the old VM still registered at Microsoft
blocks a new installation.

Is there a chance to unlock thsi blocking while not having any access to the
no longer existing old VM?

During the installation?
IIRC it is possible to install without a key and then use the
activation assistant and use the phone number. Those people can reset
the counter.

Installing a new Windows in the newly created VM requires to enter the
license key which will be rejected because with this key already another
Windows is installed - of course, the last one, lost by deleting the old
VM.

You may want to repost this to one or more of the alt.* Windows
groups. They have a much larger audience than this group, including
several people using VMs.

You don't mention which version of Windows, so I give some possible
candiates:

alt.comp.os.windows-11
alt.comp.os.windows-10
alt.comp.os.windows-8
alt.windows7.general

Windows 98 - You can install wit
key but do not bother making any snapshots. Will not work correctly.

Windows XP - You need to find the key hidden on the disc, or use Ke
finder, afterwards you need to set up so it will activate as normal
despite being online or offline ).
Windows Vista - = Same thing basically
Windows 7 - You need to install the OS and then activate from within

Windows 10 - Just do not bother registering at all. Instead us
"Winstep Nexus" as a explorer alternative. Even if you mov
the installation any store-apps will have to re-register because it i
locked to the hardware

Windows 11 - There is a Remover for Windows 11 but with each update i
makes it pointless. Same as above, do not bother and just find
resource to install from. Otherwise. You can install Windows 1
without any of the Windows 11 bs

OSX - You need the .ISO files for the installation but once installe
and setup

................

I am talking VMware not Hyper-V. Hyper-V can do all of the above bu
it is a different method but most commonly used, as it is more easie
to work with. ( Cheaper I guess ??? ). With Hyper-V and correc
settings you could android running with GPU support. Vmware needs th
special files via the Linux command emulator

With Hyper-V you might have to install via regular means and make
bootable backup to use in Hyper-V
