This is nothing to do with the ISO and it's been true of all versions
of Windows since XP, which was the 1st with product activation.

Win10 is more usable than just about anything earlier unactivated.

Install it on bare metal & on almost any UEFI PC it will self activate
using a key in the firmware.
