I want to install a Windows 10 virtual machine through Hyper-V( I selected Generation 2, ISO downloaded using media creation tool). However, I always encounter this error:

Windows cannot find the Microsoft Software License Terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation.

What should I do to fix it?

Thanks.

    Hello All,

    I suggest re-downloading the image through the link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10ISO

    If the win 10 iso doesn't load due to the error screen in the pic below - Here is a possible fix. I only hope the timer to press "any key to boot from CD" is increased to 10 seconds .
