Ponting Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Hi Friends:I have the following procedure but it didn't work for me...Can you help me please?ThanksTecManThere is no shortcut here.You need to first install Win 8.1 Pro and activate offline,then upgrade using WMC key,activate offline and then manually backup the activation files and then create a new installation ISO which automatically accepts your activation and then when you boot into the system,you will see Windows 8.1 Pro with WMC activated.If you want to activate Win 8.1,read and follow the procedure in this thread's first page and then if you have any doubt,post in that thread.After successsful activation see this one.http://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/183986-how-to-manually-backup-and-restore-windows-81-rtm-activation/page-2?do=findComment&comment=631102 Edited September 4, 2013 by NSFfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

november_ra1n Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) There is nothing wrong posting here too there is MDL we are here nsaneforum, beside lots of people may not know other place if they are familiar this forum i find it useful actually it would be better to increase the topic how to make activated WMC ISO. Cause without that there is not much use of having WMC Edition. I was gonna create one then did not bother about it Edited September 4, 2013 by november_ra1n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezza Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) This is not a topic on how to make a WMC ISO, he is asking a question!He is actually having a problem and is asking for help as it is not working with this method, and has asked in the thread he took it from at MDL and has already been answered there, so why waste peoples time here with an already answered question.

front360 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) Give it some more time TecMan, and someone will answer your question here on nsane. Many Nsaners are very knowledgeable and some will take the time to help you fix your issue, if you haven't already gotten the answer yourself.Is the "Edit" in the OP, the answer to his problem?
