Will graphics card upgrade force reactivation?
Hi folks,
I'm about to swap out the ATI HD4550 in my HTPC with an ATI HD5670. This computer is W7 Home Premium 32, OEM version.
The 4550 card removed from the HTPC will go into a desktop PC, replacing the ATI 3450 there currently. This desktop PC is W7 Home Premium 64, installed as a clean install using into the previously-Vista partition usingthe upgrade installer I bought as part of the student deal (the digital river fiasco).
Both installs are clean and were done into freshly created partitions (which had Vista until I used the W7 installer to remove the old partition, create new ones, and install into there.
Will the card swaps force reactivation or anything like that? I have the product keys (they are legit) but just trying to prepare in advance for whatever will happen.
