Hello All,

I have ran into a new issue with the Windows 10 Upgrade and Sysprep. Here is the situation: All of the computers are Windows 7 Professional. I go through with the upgrade process as normal, and upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. I create a local account and verify that Windows is activated. Once I am assured Windows is activated, I then do a clean install, go into Audit Mode, and customize the install. Once I run sysprep, I check the activation and I get this error: " Error Code: 0xC004C003 - The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked". Do I need to make any Sysprep modifications? I feel that there are so many unanswered questions with this whole upgrade deal! Thanks!
 
Are you entering any Product Key and upsetting the apple cart?


"Skip entering the product key during Windows 10 Setup. Windows 10 will activate online automatically on such devices. The skip option is only available when booting from media and launching Windows 10 setup"

Can I clean re-install Windows 10 after upgrading?
 
No, I have not entered any Windows 10 Product Key at all. Windows has the problem with activation once I enter audit mode. I am begging to think that this does not work when you do an upgrade.
