Activation on a new computer
Hiya there folks :)
My old computer recently gave up the ghost, so I went and got a new HP moderately cheap and cheerful replacement. The HP came with W7 installed along with the usual add on, software and general crap that does come with such things.
I decided to install the retail version of windows 7 64 that I had installed on my old (now broken ) computer, the install went very smoothly till it came to activation (this i did expect) it said it couldn't activate on this computer on-line, it then gave me options one of which was to activate via phone, this I did and it activated fine.
I pretty much expected it to challenge me regards the instillation after all, so far as it last heard it was installed on a very different computer.
Everything i now working fine, but my question is this, now that it has been activated on the new computer, if I do a re-install (on the new computer) will I be able to remotely activate or will I have to use the phone again, if so will this cause any problems. ?
