Windows 11 kicked me out of WIP on Windows 11.

Hi all.

Today I went to Settings > ... > Windows Insider Program page.

There I was asked to restart the PC.

After I restarted, I saw that I was left out of the Windows 11 Insider Program.

Now I am asked to install Windows 10 and then rejoin the Windows Insider Program Release Preview Channel.

So I understand now it is just about time to say good-bye to my Insider Colleages on Windows 11.

    1. How to activate the VM install ? Do I need a new Windows 10/8/7 product key ? I had a HP notebook. It had a product key on the sticker. Can I use that ? The notebook has no longer the pre-installed Windows build on it. Not used.
    2. Can I use my Microsoft account info here in VM as well ?

    Hi Suat,

    As you are aware, each vm is similar to a new computer, each one requires its own activation. As Sibro mentioned, give it a go. Suspect the HP key might not work as its OEM, but worth a try.

    Hi Johnny,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I used the HP notebook Windows 7 Pro PK. It was not the OEM PK but was the PK on a sticker. At first attempt, the PK was not accepted but later when I checked activation status, I found out that my VM had been activated.

    How should I keep the activation status if I reinstall Windows 11 in a VM ?

    Sorry to bother. I am not at all familiar to VM ?

    Have a nice weekend.

    Johnny,

    I know a guy who has one which he has three monitors and printer sitting on one and was very stable, it had adjustable feet to level the table, and can raise high for standing purposes, I could find out the make next week if you interested.

    Good Morning Sibro, Suat and Wolfy,

    My Dev test laptop was kicked out last night as well. Was this not suppose to carry on till GA, which is Oct. 5th?

    Rather than using ISO, suspect users can learn how to install SSU and CU manually. Of course, there are no more Widgets with W11 without Insider. Have not checked what else is missing. This may possibly change once it goes to GA. No clue, will have to wait.

    Appears time to finish the Desktop project. All parts are in as of today, including the massive 3070 video card. This thing is gigantic (3 power cables, 22 pins). Have to tear down the computer desk, no clearance on top due to the Hutch design, for the 32" HDR monitor and Computer itself.

    Has anyone tried or used one of those home office electric height adjustable desks? My desk really needs replacing. Any suggestions. Gonna need something sturdy enough to hold Desktop, and 32", 28" monitors for dual display.

    Have a great day Insiders. Cheers!

    My eyes are not getting any better, I use a 40" 4K Samsung TV 😉

    Hi Suat,

There are activation scripts out there, Hint: search in GitHub (massgravel). Use HWID from cmd file. Any Retail key W7 and beyond should work as well.

    Yes you can use your MS account in virtual machines. It will sync up favorites, passwords once verified, etc. just like any computer.

    Regards,
