So I am running PVE7.0-13 and was able to get a Windows 11 VM working and it looks great I must add. The issue began after I decided to deploy cloubase-init for Windows and that also is working as a charm following some developments on a different thread on this forum. However after marking the VM as a template after sysprep I cannot use any OS Key to activate Windows as it comes back with the "Some hardware has changed in this computer" Is this a result of it being a linked clone? Anyone has any experience with cloning Windows 11 Pro for Workstations?
