I have a Lenovo WorkStation with 2 Hyper-V VM's running on it. I need to isolate a couple of pieces of SW that cannot peacefully co-exist on the same machine.
( yes, I have enough Open License w/ SA to cover all of this )
I just upgraded the Host machine from Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro and now the guests OS ( Win10b1511, Win8.1 Enterprise) have become un-activated
1 machine also has M$ Office. That also is no longer activated.
Is there a step I missed to prevent this from happening ?
I also intend to load a P--->V WinXP VM on this machine. The original Hardware for that has failed. That runs a piece of GARBAGE, but necessary SW which I cannot re-install. I can't afford that have that one become un-activated every time a new OS build comes out.
Since each new build of Windows 10 current branch is a "new OS Image build", will this trigger reactivation when upgrading?
Thanks!
