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! Me again. So I went ahead and ordered the ibuypower PC i mentioned, and it works great! Although, the enter key in the center of the keyboard is super touchy....... barely touching the key counts as a press! Did I just get a faulty keyboard or is there an easy fix I'm over looking...

So I recently ordered a new PC, I'm waiting for shipping right now. It's the iBuyPower WA563R7. It comes with a 500w power supply, and I was wondering what a good upgrade would be. I plan on adding a better GPU in the near future, what would be a good upgrade? Thanks guys! Here's a link to the...

Yesterday I opened a ticket with Microsoft help on this problem and after elevation to level 2 at Manila PI I was told that my mother board does not support Windows 10. I am not sure about that since I had been using Windows 10 for more than 6 months without problems or I should say minor...

I have not entered the product key (registration) yet. I have the USB version. I have installed it on my new computer build. Can I LEGALLY sell this and will it work o.k. with whoever buys it? I don’t want to get into details about MediaCenter not being supported, but that is a big reason that I...
