I went into Windows, clicked on Start and then typed check activation status, just to be sure. It showed the same product key that people get when they did the free upgrade. On this computer, the thumb drive was drive letter e:, so I did it like this:Ĭode: slmgr.vbs /dliThis verified the copy of 10 was fully activated. I popped in the thumb drive and copied the GenuineTicket.xml file to the c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTi cket\ directory. After it was installed, I went to an elevated command prompt window again. I did a custom install and deleted all partitions on the hard drive and created new partitions. When it asked for a product key, I picked skip this part. Then, I installed Windows 10 64-bit Home.
It created a file called GenuineTicket.xml. I went to the \sources\ directory on the disk and found the gatherosstate.exe file. So I download the Windows 10 ISO using the Microsoft Download Tool or whatever it's called and burned the ISO to disc. Then I used slmgr.vbs to install the matching certificate for the SLIC data that was in the BIOS. I went back to the elevated command prompt and used slmgr.vbs to install the pre-activation product key that HP uses. I reran the SLICK Toolkit to verify that the SLIC data was in fact v2.1. I than copied the modified BIOS back to the temp directory and hit continued. I guess this machine came with 7 or Vista, so I was lucky and able to put the exact SLIC data in the BIOS that would have come with this machine if it came with 7. The BIOS was called something like BEN5.43, I renamed it to BEN5.rom.īeing an AMI BIOS, I ran the AMI BIOS tool I have and injected the SLIC v2.1 data that I have for the same machine. I copied the contents to the c:\bios directory I made.
Sure enough, it was the extracted contents of the sp file. Dir /a /odI looked at the directory that was created last, which was around the time I ran the program and cd'd into it.
