The new MS automatic validation process relies on hardware identification. I think hypervisors are in direct conflict with their methods. So until VMware and company can work with MS to find a solution it's going to be a problem. And I'm not sure MS thinks it's in their best interest to resolve this. My existing 8.1 VM successfully upgraded to 10 in place. But so far I can't do a bare metal new install. It will not activate.
