Answer 2

It would work if it was a purchased Windows 10 or with KMS server in a company domain but this is a Trial (Evaluation)

If you download the ISO yourself and trying then you run into the same problem.

It's something with Microsoft themselves that causes this problem

Here is the ISO tha cause the problem:
19044.1288.211006-0501.21h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENT_LTSC_EVAL_x64FRE_en-us

Answer 3

Here is one more person who have the problem:

It looks as Microsoft don care about it. So I dont know what to do.

Answer 4

I´ve found some more about this this phenomenon:
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-10/windows-10-evaluation-cannot-be-activated-product-key-is-blocked/m-p/2116894

Any suggestions of how to solve it more than calling Microsoft support?

Really appreciate your answer

Answer 5

I wonder if Microsoft want to to control you developer towards windows 11?
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/

But the license seems to expire in April 2023.

The big problem is that Ì´m developing solutions for a customers who cant migrate to Windows 11, yet.
