2016 MBP w TouchBar - Win10 Bootcamp KMS Activation

So I'm dual booting my late 2016 MacBook Pro with TouchBar using Boot Camp Assistant. It took a while to even get Windows 10 Pro on there, since the ISO I'd normally download from the Microsoft Volume Licensing site would not work (not a corrupt file - it runs fine on a 2015 iMac). So far, the only successful way I've found to install it is by using the Anniversary update (version 1703), and then upgrade to the Creators update once installed. Neither of those editions will activate though - it says the previous version of Windows was not activated, when obviously there was no previous version ever on there.

We have volume licensing for Windows that is hosted on a KMS server. When I try to force KMS activation by typing slmgr.vbs /ato from an elevated command prompt, I get an error saying that I'm running a Windows non-core edition.

Is there a KMS-license compatible version of Windows (10 Pro) that is also compatible with running bootcamp on these PIA 2016 MBP w TBs???
