As for the pre-req update, I understand I'll need to install KB3058168 (its pre-req KB2919355 is already installed). But in my Product Keys section in Relationship Summary, I see a Product for 'Windows 10 KMS' as well as the product 'Windows Srv 2012R2 DataCtr/Std KMS for Windows 10'. Under description you should see VolumeKMS2012-R2Win10 channel. KMS is ready to active Windows 10. From Windows 10: slmgr -skms kms.server.fqdn slmgr -ato. View August 11, 2015. Can you not activate Windows 10 with a 2008 R2 KMS server?

2. Win10 Kms Github
3. Kms Win10 Pro

here’s some brief note’s for setting up KMS for activating Windows 10.

Step 1. Setup Server 2012 R2

First things first, you need to setup up a new 2012 R2 KMS server, because it won’t work with Windows 2008 R2. Windows 2008 R2 is (currently) not supported for activating Windows 10 using KMS.

Step 2. Install a hotfix to add support for activating later versions of Windows

Install the following hotfix:

which is an Update that enables Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 KMS hosts to activate a later version of Windows. More info > https://technet.micr…s/dn502537.aspx

Step 3. Login to the Volume License site

You need to get a new KMS Host key from the Volume License Service Center that has this string:

“Windows® Operating System, VOLUME_KMS_2012-R2_WIN10 channel”

Save this key somewhere safe, you’ll need it later.

Step 4. Add the Volume Activation Services role

After installing Windows Server 2012 open Server Manager and choose Add roles and features, choose Role-Based or Feature-Based installation. Choose your local Windows Server 2012 Server from the Server Pool.

Choose the Volume Activation Services role. You may be prompted to add features that are required for Volume Activation Services such as Remote Server Administration Tools, if so, click on Add features and continue through that wizard until completion.

Click Close when done, you will see a Yellow Triangle in Server manager which means that the role is installed but there is additional post deployment configuration required.

Step 5. Configure the Volume Activation Services role

To configure it, click VA Services in the left pane.

Next click on the More text to the right of Configuration required for Volume Activation Services at SERVERNAME. This will popup All Servers Task Details and Notifications.

click on the Volume activation tools link and then decide what Volume Activation Method you want to use in the Select Volume Activation Method screen, use the default (Key Management Service (KMS))

on the Product Key Management screen enter your KMS host key retrieved above from the VLSC site.

After entering your Windows 10 KMS Host Key, click on the drop down menu and select it, click on the Commit button and then continue through that wizard until completion.

Step 6.Test the KMS server configuration

To test the KMS server configuration, follow the rest of the KMS guide located here

To use the keys listed here (which are GVLKs), you must first have a KMS hostrunning in your deployment. If you haven't already configured a KMS host, seeDeploy KMS Activation for steps to set one up.

If you are converting a computer from a KMS host, MAK, or retail edition ofWindows to a KMS client, install the applicable setup key (GVLK) from thefollowing tables. To install a client setup key, open an administrative commandprompt on the client, type slmgr /ipk <setup key> and then press Enter.

If you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, be on the lookoutfor an update to support using those as KMS hosts for Windows 10 clients.
