Re: Latest Windows 10 Insider Preview 18305 and cant activate
Windows Insider builds are beta versions and as such are not supported. Only official Windows releases are subject to support.
Installing this likely eradicated all licensing from your machine or invalidated it.
It doesn't matter if PowerShell Studio thinks this is a VM or not, you can simply activate it with your license.
You may need to remove the activation of your 'old' machine on your account page first.
Installing insider builds will likely continue to require you to re-activate after each install.
