Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/issues/605

1. In here, you're saying "The Powershell method does not work on Windows 7. Use the Method 2 - Traditional instead". However you can still make it work fine in Windows 7 by having an up-to-date system, .NET Framework 4.8 and WMF 5.1 installed.
2. I don't see you provide a XP activation method in here and here, just provide the activation key. But those keys will only help you when it ask for enter the key during windows installation. It does not activate windows when the installation is complete, and you'll need to activate by online (which no longer works on XP) or calling to Microsoft. Probably you know what happens if you don't activate XP for a while. A workaround is using xp_activate32, but there's a thing here is that I couldn't find official site for them but only found on forums, which have this tool reposted. If necessary you could find more info about this tool on the internet.

1- Asking users to do all that just to run MAS isn't a good idea, downloading and running MAS would be easier. 2- The repo for that is here https://github.com/UMSKT however I didn't mention that because (1) there are some issues in key where key needs to be in certain format else if inputted incorrectly, there is a chance system might brick, so I need to list some working keys and guide to follow later steps. and (2) there are way too less users who have installed retail version and is not activated, anyone who is looking to test xp, usually just downloads vl from our site and activate with mentioned key. Anyways, I'll try to write a guide for it at some point.

I mean, it's still necessary in some other cases, not just for running MAS only. Stock PowerShell in W7 is outdated anyways and it's need to be updated, just like in W8.1+ to execute new commands. Some programs also requires latest .NET Framework to function normally, WMF 5.1 also requires it. Anyways this is my small suggestions, the decision is belong to yours

I get what you are saying, but if I mention that then people will just assume/confuse that all this needs to be done to run MAS, and it's not a quick download-and-run tool. So that's why I mention the shortest path to run MAS in the instructions.

I also have another question. Will this actually change the windows edition (I mean by downgrading/upgrading) or it's just visual changes?
