Hello,


My Windows is activated by a digital license. On that PC I have setup a dual boot with linux.

Sometimes, when on linux, I need to use Windows, but would prefer not to have to boot into windows and use a Win10 virtual machine instead.


So I installed Win10 (same edition) in a VM (virtualbox) on my linux distribution (debian).


I read some people explaining how to get it activated thanks to the OEM key stored in the computer (in any ACPI table I believe). But I don't have that ACPI table on my PC.


How can I get Win10 activated on the VM ?

That VM runs on the same physical PC as my Win10 that is digitally activated.

The Win10 guest (ie. in the VM) is for use from a Linux Host, so both Win10 (VM & real) won't run at the same time.


Regards.
