activation

Hi all, I bought some additional ram and am planning to buy a new videocard in the near future. Will adding the ram and installing the new videocard result in the de-activation of my Windows 10 pro? Regards

Hello! My question is: can I use one installation dvd of Win10 pro to install more computers and later use licences to activate? It is an OEM version. In other words, OEM conditions are bound to the licence or the software on the disk? Thanks.

Hi, My friend has an 8-year old Dell Studio One all-in-one desktop computer that appears to have a bad hard drive. My friend doesn't have a recovery USB nor DVD. Question is, if we get a new hard drive, is there a way we can install and activate Windows Vista legally, without buying Windows...

Quick question. If I build a new PC and move the hard drive from my old unit to the new one, will the activation code still be valid? Isn't it based on the computer's configuration (MB, CPU, etc)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys, it has been a while since I posted. I was having some terrible issues with my Windows 10 install. I had some terrible issues with updates breaking my activation. I would go from 14393.1066 to 15063.0 or 15063.250 and my activation would tell me it either couldn't reach the activation...
