Windows 10, version 1607 made a large leap forward. You could just change the product key and the edition instantly changed from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise. In addition to provisioning packages and MDM, you can inject a key using slmgr.vbs, which injects the key into WMI. It became trivial to do this process using a command line.
source command is officially for Unix operating systems family and you can't use it on windows basically. instead, you can use venv\Scripts\activate command to activate your virtual environment.
For windows, type "C:\Users\Sid\venv\FirstProject\Scripts\activate" in the terminal without quotes. Simply give the location of your Scripts folder in your project. So, the command will be location_of_the_Scripts_Folder\activate.
By default, environments are installed into the envsdirectory in your conda directory. See Specifying a location for an environmentor run conda create --help for information on specifyinga different path.
The most popular and widely used of these projects is virtualenv, which handles creating the directory structure and copying the needed files into a virtual environment. To install virtualenv, just use pip install virtualenv. To create a virtual environment directory with it, type virtualenv /path/to/directory. Activating and deactivating the virtual environment works the same way as it does for virtual environments in Python 3 (see above).
Tapping into the elevated command line is a reliable way to access the Software License Manager (SLMGR), also called the Windows Software Licensing Management Tool. Interacting directly with SLMGR handles activation and access to license information.
Step 2. After you enter into Windows 10 Command Prompt, you can copy and paste this command line: slmgr.vbs /upk, in the Command Prompt window. Hit Enter to execute the command.
Check the CIDR block for your VPC. A Windows instance cannot boot correctly if it's launched into a VPC that has an IP address range from 224.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 (Class D and Class E IP address ranges). These IP address ranges are reserved, and should not be assigned to host devices. We recommend that you create a VPC with a CIDR block from the private (non-publicly routable) IP address ranges as specified in RFC 1918.
KMS (Key Management Service) activation for Windows and MS Office software is required per the license agreement between Columbia University and Microsoft.
Our KMS server is on campus and allows connections only from campus and VPN. Computers check into the KMS server on a weekly basis and will warn users in advance if there is an licensing issue.
KMS is the default method of activation for all Duke windows users, and should be used whenever possible and/or applicable. Windows should activate automatically if connected to the Duke network or VPN.
While not highly restricted, we ask that if you connect to any Duke network on a regular basis that you use the KMS method of activation. If you are having difficulty activating via KMS, please try to troubleshoot the error before resorting to the MAK. We have a limited number of MAK activations available. You may request a special MAK by e-mailing si...@duke.edu. Requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by OIT. Students graduating or leaving Duke may not request a MAK to keep KMS-activated copies of windows activated once they leave Duke.
This error also may occur if you do not have the proper privileges on the computer or your network to activate windows. Please make sure that you have the appropriate privileges on your computer and/or network (there may be group policies preventing you from activating, for example. you could try putting it an a different OU and activating), and that you are right-clicking and launching the command line as an administrator.
In its first two years, Windows 10 had separate release schedules for consumer and business editions. In mid-2017, Microsoft consolidated these two channels into a single one. Business and enterprise customers can opt to defer the appearance of new releases in Windows Update for up to 365 days after the general release date using the Windows Update for Business feature set.
After that first activation is complete, you can perform a clean install on that same hardware using Windows 10 installation media. As long as the hardware "fingerprint" matches the previous installation ID, the installation is activated automatically. (Microsoft does not provide details of what goes into the hardware ID, except to confirm that it does not contain any personally identifiable information and is not used for tracking purposes.)
At the Build Conference in April 2014, Microsoft's Terry Myerson unveiled an updated version of Windows 8.1 (build 9697) that added the ability to run Windows Store apps inside desktop windows and a more traditional Start menu in place of the Start screen seen in Windows 8. The new Start menu takes after Windows 7's design by using only a portion of the screen and including an application listing in the left column. The right column displays Windows 8-style app tiles. Myerson said that these changes would occur in a future update, but did not elaborate.[33][34] Microsoft also unveiled the concept of a "universal Windows app", allowing Windows Store apps created for Windows 8.1 to be ported to Windows Phone 8.1 and Xbox One while sharing a common codebase, with an interface designed for different device form factors, and allowing user data and licenses for an app to be shared between multiple platforms. Windows Phone 8.1 would share nearly 90% of the common Windows Runtime APIs with Windows 8.1 on PCs.[33][35][36][37]
In regards to Microsoft naming the new operating system Windows 10 instead of Windows 9, Terry Myerson said that "based on the product that's coming, and just how different our approach will be overall, it wouldn't be right to call it Windows 9."[45] He also joked that they could not call it "Windows One" (referring to several recent Microsoft products with a similar brand, such as OneDrive, OneNote, and the Xbox One) because Windows 1.0 already existed.[46] At a San Francisco conference in October 2014, Tony Prophet, Microsoft's Vice President of Windows Marketing, said that Windows 9 "came and went", and that Windows 10 would not be "an incremental step from Windows 8.1", but "a material step. We're trying to create one platform, one eco-system that unites as many of the devices from the small embedded Internet of Things, through tablets, through phones, through PCs and, ultimately, into the Xbox."[47]
The Windows Runtime app ecosystem was revised into the Universal Windows Platform (UWP).[35][64][65] These universal apps are made to run across multiple platforms and device classes, including smartphones, tablets, Xbox One consoles, and other devices compatible with Windows 10. Windows apps share code across platforms, have responsive designs that adapt to the needs of the device and available inputs, can synchronize data between Windows 10 devices (including notifications, credentials, and allowing cross-platform multiplayer for games), and are distributed through the Microsoft Store (rebranded from Windows Store since September 2017).[66] Developers can allow "cross-buys", where purchased licenses for an app apply to all of the user's compatible devices, rather than only the one they purchased on (e.g., a user purchasing an app on PC is also entitled to use the smartphone version at no extra cost).[36][67][68]
A new iteration of the Start menu is used on the Windows 10 desktop, with a list of places and other options on the left side, and tiles representing applications on the right. The menu can be resized, and expanded into a full-screen display, which is the default option in Tablet mode.[42][62][73] A new virtual desktop system was added by a feature known as Task View, which displays all open windows and allows users to switch between them, or switch between multiple workspaces.[42][62] Universal apps, which previously could be used only in full screen mode, can now be used in self-contained windows similarly to other programs.[42][62] Program windows can now be snapped to quadrants of the screen by dragging them to the corner. When a window is snapped to one side of the screen, Task View appears and the user is prompted to choose a second window to fill the unused side of the screen (called "Snap Assist").[62] The Windows system icons were also changed.[73]
In 2017, researchers demonstrated that Windows Hello could be bypassed on fully-updated Windows 10 version 1703 with a color printout of a person's picture taken with an IR camera.[82] In 2021, researchers were again able to bypass the Windows Hello functionalities by using custom hardware disguised as a camera, which presented an IR photo of the owner's face.[83]
When Windows 10 was first introduced, multi-factor authentication was provided by two components: Windows Hello and Passport (not to be confused with the Passport platform of 1998). Later, Passport was merged into Windows Hello.[85][81]
Windows 10 incorporates a universal search box located alongside the Start and Task View buttons, which can be hidden or condensed into a single button.[111][112] Previous versions featured Microsoft's intelligent personal assistant Cortana, which was first introduced with Windows Phone 8.1 in 2014, and supports both text and voice input. Many of its features are a direct carryover from Windows Phone, including integration with Bing, setting reminders, a Notebook feature for managing personal information, as well as searching for files, playing music, launching applications and setting reminders or sending emails.[113][114][73] Since the November 2019 update, Microsoft has begun to downplay Cortana as part of a repositioning of the product towards enterprise use, with the May 2020 update removing its Windows shell integration and consumer-oriented features.[115][116][111][117]
