Have any of you ever successfully run a virtual copy of windows illegally on a legal one?
December 14th, 2021
Any of you tried anything like this before? EG running a cracked copy in a virtual location on your pc that runs on a legal windows?
Have you got into any issues like your legal windows being deativated by Microsoft?
It will run fine without any worries of de-activation. I´d suggest using VMWare rather than Virtualbox as the latter will only let you run a 32bit (x86) install of Win10(unless they have changed this in the last month).
The KMS emulator will do the task for the virtual system. It can’t jump out of the virtual machine and make your host system connect to the emulated KMS.
Virtual box will let you install a 64bit version of Windows 10. You need CPU virtualization features and you need to disable Hyper-V on Windows by issuing Dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Hyper-V
I’m running one at home and have several in the offices.

I get feature name is unknown when typing in that command.
You sure its present in Windows 7 systems? I think it was only introduced first in Windows 8.
But thank you for the info. This means its not so risky as I first thought to run virtual windows activated through KMS on a legal windows. I’ve used VirtualBox before to run a test install of windows just for fun and it worked but now i want to take it a step further and install 10 and activate it and try it out.
See how far I can go.
Sorry, you are right. There is no Hyper-V…
The other instructions should still work though. It’s not risky because they are isolated. The settings applied to the emulated one are limited to it. Installing the KMS emulator on the virtual OS will only change the settings of the virtualized system.

Great but I’m still a little concerned because should I not use first my free upgrade instead of doing a clean install of windows 10 and activating it with KMS? Won’t that lose my chance to do a free upgrade with my real windows? Or has that no effect on it?
Anyone?
You should still be able to do the free upgrade on Windows 7 because, as said, it is isolated from your virtual system..

So Microsoft will never associate the virtual windows with my legal one? Even if I try to activate it with KMS and it fails to activate? Or trigger something that alerts MS?
The virtual system runs… virtual hardware. The Windows 10 keys are linked to certain hardware components. You won’t have your ip flagged with the virtual Windows copy. Maybe they are collecting that data for statistics but this won’t block you from claiming your free upgrade.
