Hello,

I recently installed a new 1 Terra Hard Drive on my computer and I am currently running Windows 8 Pro. But sadly since these changes I have been noticing that my PC has been slow, I went to check my settings and saw, that only 2gb out of 8gb (RAM) were usable and that the 6gb were reserved for hardware.

Appreciate Help,
Thank You.

Ok thank you for the help. One more thing, I do not know why but it is telling me that my Windows is not activated. I had it active before on my old hard drive that got infected, any way I could extract the key I had there?

Sorry for the Trouble jus realized that I used a 32 bit CD I must have a 64bit one at home.
One last question, there might be the Windows activation problem again. Is it possible to buy a student activation code online wihtout the box or CD?
