This is not meant to set up a fully functioning system but rather give you a place to make conversions for Linux use or simple tasks - a work around. It will complain but should not stop you from doing what you need. If you need a fully functional system then the investment maybe warranted. The few times I have needed a licensed copy around I bought a refirb system with the WinOS. Installed Linux without turning on so the new system never registered then used the license in the virtual machine of the same machine. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Everything still runs, though. It tells me to go to Settings, where there's a line for activation.

That is the official line. But NewEgg will openly sell it so I doubt Microsoft doesn't know and at least quietly approve of the practice. After all, they sell motherboards, cases, etc. People building up their own computer ain't going to pay full boxed set retail price for Windows and NewEgg would like to be the one who sells them their copy of Windows. Everybody knows these facts so Microsoft doesn't say anything. They don't even force them to only sell a copy on the same ticket with a motherboard. Microsoft knows their model is busted. That is why they are still letting everyone with Win7/8 to upgrade to Win10 for free. That is why they basically gave away Windows for free on netbooks until they could quietly kill the whole product category. The fake copy I bought forced phone activation but that was just some friction in the gears to discourage it, they still want to get the activation. They know their only hope is moving Windows to an Android model where they give away the OS and rake off thirty thick and juicy points from all content sales in the Store. For work we bought a few from them to run our accounting VMs on. Just system builder Windows packs, nothing else on the invoice; no problem. Not playing with eBay stuff when a BSA audit is possible. I just wasn't willing to personally pay as much for a Windows license as the machine it was going onto was probably worth.

My understanding was that only an Original Equipment Manufacturer can sell/supply those OEM versions of the OS, and only to go with a particular PC (one of those "not to be sold separately" conditions).

It may be that Microsoft has simply decided not to enforce this. I keep hearing rumors that they want Windows 10 to be used as widely as possible, and are considering making it free. Who knows...

It will work for a time, then demand you activate. If you don't it will go to a degraded mode where some things don't work and eventually limit how long it runs.

I told myself I really ought to get a book on Windows 10 administration and get on the ball, but my eyes just glazed over. I thought systemd was adding too much complexity and too many layers of BS.

I bought the cheapest OEM Windows 7 I could find from a legitimate source (I don't remember how much I paid, I think it was 50 or 60 bucks). I was able to install it fine using virt-manager. This was before Windows 10, so when Windows 10 came around, I upgraded the VM, which took forever, but worked, so I now have a Windows 10 virtual machine. I use a read only qcow2 base image with the running system in a read/write qcow2, so if I ever have any problems, I can just revert back to the base. Whenever I happen to feel like killing time, I can boot directly in the base, apply Windows updates, and make a new more up-to-date base image. I use the redhat virtual disk and network drivers and such to get good performance and cut & paste support, etc (I swear they move the "official" location to find them every two or three weeks though, so don't ask me where they are now :-). The only thing that doesn't work with qemu is 3D graphics (there are various rumors of projects to provide it, but I don't think anything real exists yet).

From https://www.lifewire.com/ptx-file-2622809 Your PTX file may instead be an E-Transcript file. These files are often used to store courtroom hearing transcripts, and can be in either the PTX format or in a self-contained EXE file; the former is normally used so that the file can be sent over email (EXE files are usually blocked by email servers). When in the PTX format, E-Transcript files can be opened with E-Transcript Manager or for free, though in read-only mode, with E-Transcript Viewer. Since they're probably text-only files, you might also find a text editor like Notepad++ useful in reading the PTX file.
