Windows deactivates every time it is booted in a VM

    I successfully imported a Boot Camp partition into a Parallels VM. However every time I boot the drive up in Parallels Windows refuses to activate itself. If I boot off bare metal, Windows Activation is perfectly happy.

    I have two theories why this might be happening. Perhaps I installed an OEM copy of Windows. Or maybe Windows 10 Home doesn't like existing in a virtual environment. Whatever the case I m worried that if Windows keeps having activation problems, Microsoft will eventually disable my license entirely. Has anyone else been through this?
