Unlimited hardware changes if Windows key is uninstalled first?
Are we allowed to uninstall the Windows product key from our system so
that we can make hardware changes, and then reinstall that product key without having to reactivate Windows (regardless of the changes we've made)? If so, any links to concise explanations about how to uninstall the product key would be appreciated. Thanks. |

You don't uninstall Windows product key. You just go ahead and make changes and first try to activate it online. If it fails, you need to use the phone method and explain to the operator what you have done and 99% of the time they will activate your machine. The 1% is for people who demands and becomes rude when talking to fellow human being. These people don't deserve any help IMHO. They first need to learn social skills of talking to fellow human being. |

Some of us are do-it-yourselfers and would rather do it ourselves. That's why I asked. I'm not interested in workarounds. |

Totally insane - why should you need MS's permission to change hardware on your own system!! You don't. You merely have to re-activate the system with any "major" hardware changes probably so that Bill Gates and the Board of Directors can show videos of your weddings, baptisms and family reunions at their sales meetings. Lord help ya' if ya'll make the sex tapes... You'll know if it was a "major hardware change" when they give you the series of blue screens with instructions and informations... Sometimes they give you several days of grace to run the now rouge system before they effectively shut down your device if you don't honor the prescribed conditions. They'll actually provide a toll-free telephone line with a real person to assist with this. I believe that a change of mainboard or motherboard is considered a whole 'nuther device, so you'd probably have to buy a product key to get that situation activated... but it is negotiable, and as long as all your hard drives, chipsets, processors and cards were still the same, they might take pity on you and spare you the extra expense on a one-time sympathetic consideration - especially if you tell them you're a minority single-mother trying to put 8 kids through school and need the device for homework assignments and your unregulated and untaxed eBay business... Or you could use the GoFundMe method. HTH. -- I AM Bucky Breeder, (*(^; and, It's like Yogi Berra always used to say: "The future ain't what it used to be!" http://tinyurl.com/ocnqvgq |
