| 1465616 | 2019-12-22 00:54:00 | Seasons Greetings to one and all... I have a quick question regarding Windows 10. I have an ageing desktop running Windows 10 64 bit. I am wondering if it has a activation code somewhere that I could use if I up date my desktop with a new motherboard,cpu, ram etc. Or is it tied to my old hardware? Happy Days! |

The Customer had a really low spec E1 AMD that really shouldn't even be allowed to be sold, its useless :sleep Built a whole new PC of reasonable specs, imaged the drive to a SSD, wiped out the AMD drivers installed new Intel, cleaned out all the old junk from AMD, went through the changed hardware - all activated and really flying :D Seasons Greetings as well to everyone |
