    reactivation


    I have had no luck installing 64 bit Windows,(see ACHI blocking installation in INSTALLATION AND SETUP) so reverting to 32 bit is less bother than continuing. The only new hardware that might have caused problems, the new ssd has been eliminated by a successful loading of Mint 17.1. During one of the aborted loads I got as far as activating the 64 bit. I still have the hdd with the original 32 bit W7 on it and will refit it as going to 64 bit when I have two other pc's with 64 bit is not vital. Will there be problems reactivating the 32 bit?

    Shouldn't be - so long as the original Product Key is only installed on ONE machine.
    If you have problems, post an MGADiag report.

Hi, I have the three license Family Pack version of Win 7 Home Premium. It's a retail copy. I've used all three licenses. I'm planning hardware upgrades on one of those machines, including a new motherboard. In addition, because I'm doubling the RAM from 2GB to 4GB, I'd like to go to the...
Reactivation

I was surprised a bit ago, when Windows popped a dialog saying that due to hardware or driver changes, that it needed to be activated again. I have not recently changed any hardware nor any drivers, so I'm curious how this could be? The closest thread I found here is about some people having a...

Hello mates I am in dire need of help! I am having a ridiculous issue with Windows 7 prompting me to reactivate my product key. It is now a daily occurrence even after successfully reactivating over the phone (online does not work). It says it is most likely a hardware change that is...
Apologies if this is a naive question or in the wrong section but but I'm only a fairly competant user and have very limited technical knowledge, and although I've searched carefully I can't find an answer to this question anywhere. I have Windows 7 Home Premium on my C drive with most of my...
