If the virtual machine cannot be recovered, you can try the following steps.ġ. If my understanding is wrong, please correct me in the reply.ĭoes your previous virtual machine still exist? According to your description, 'the virtual machine software crashes', does it mean that the win10 virtual machine you installed also gone? If not, you can try to restart/reset and then use the activated genuine win10. I'm Mosken, I do apologize for the inconvenience that you're experiencing right now, let me help you sort things out.Īccording to your description, I knew that you use the win7 key to install win10 in the virtual machine and activate it successfully, but because the virtual machine software crashes, you use the same method to reinstall win10, but it is not activated. Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

How to activate the windows10 post reinstallation. And no other account with email in this laptop…. I can confirm that I haven’t logged in with my Microsoft account in the VirtualBox the last time when activation was successful. But it showed same message, windows not activated as product key is not associated without logged in email address. I tried logging in with my Microsoft account in my laptop to troubleshoot the activation.

I tried troubleshooting and even re-entered activation code it didn’t activate. So, I had begun with reinstallation of windows 10 again inside VirtualBox with entering the same key again in initial page.īut this time post installation Windows is not activated automatically. Suddenly my VirtualBox crashed with data in it. once installation is completed with Local User account login I am able to see Windows 10 is activated with message “ Windows is activated with a digital license”.Īfter successful activation I didn’t add my Microsoft account as shown in above image😔 While Installing at 1st step, I had used my genuine Windows 7 key and continued with process. I had installed Windows 10 inside VirtualBox in LinuxMint.
