Hi there,
I'm having trouble installing Windows 10 on VirtualBox. I'm using the Windows 10 Education 22H2 edition, which I downloaded from the Microsoft Azure portal. I get error (0x800f0904) saying that I need to try activating later or go to the store & buy a genuine version of Windows.
Screenshot attached.
Any ideas? Cheers
Can't install Windows 10 on VirtualBox. Might be a product key issue

That is a Microsoft support question. We have no influence on Windows licensing.
I can tell you that the VirtualBox BIOS does not come a free Windows digital license, which I hope is not a surprise. You need a valid product key not already used.
