What happened?

A bug happened! Hi , I configured ventoy to auto-install windows 10, I had the iso made by the media creation tool. Installation starts but after a while it says it can't find the product key, even though unattendend.xml has been entered, and restarts the pc.

I am attaching both the configuration file and the screenshot of the error. THE PRODUCT KEY VOLUNTARILY HAS ONE LESS LETTER, NOT TO DISCLOSE IT TO ANYONE Thank you

You need to learn about XML files before you can use them! This is not a bug with Ventoy. On my <a href="https://easy2boot.xyz">easy2boot</a> site there are some pages and you can buy my eBooks which explain about XML files, etc. Also free Help Online chat.

You can use the WAFG site to generate an XML file <a href="https://www.windowsafg.com/">https://www.windowsafg.com/</a> Then Choose <strong>Desktop</strong> and then either <strong>Windows 10/11 MBR</strong> or <strong>UEFI</strong> depending on which way you want to boot Windows. With Windows, you can either MBR\Legacy boot using MBR partitioned disk or UEFI-boot using a GPT partitioned disk. You cannot mix the two.</p> </div> </div> <div class="page-bar-simple"> </div> <div class="footer"> <ul class="body"> <li>© <script> document.write(new Date().getFullYear()) </script> Githubissues.</li> <li>Githubissues is a development platform for aggregating issues.</li> </ul> </div> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jquery@3.5.1/dist/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/githubissues/assets/js.js"></script> <script src="/githubissues/assets/markdown.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release@11.4.0/build/highlight.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release@11.4.0/build/languages/go.min.js"></script> <script> hljs.highlightAll(); </script> </body> </html>
