Will new product key work on existing system?
I have a nearly new system with a Gigabyte motherboard. Everything had been running ok the errors began appearing and the system went into a start up loop.
After having it examined by a computer engineer the only thing he could do was to re install a trial version of Windows 7 in the hope that when I activate it (in the next 30 days) the motherboard will accept the new product key.
I am at a loss as to why my system crashed initially but after several technicians have looked at the system this is the best they could do.
If its going to be an issue I wont activate and will start using a Linux OS if I have to.
Any advice would be appreciated (from a newbie).
