Hey

I’m windows 11 custom iso with pre installed software

So

When I need to reinstall windows 11 on my computer if something goes wrong or hard drive dies

I’m using VMware to install windows 11 and software

But when I get ready to use cmd as administrator

I get the error message

In my experience it’s usually licensing-related. Checking the logs would confirm this.
