1462813	2019-08-01 21:50:00	I replaced a broken computer case , put all the parts into another case Whats the best way to get the Win lic/COA sticker off the old PC case ? I have used a hot air gun & a sharp knife blade in the past, but that was really hit & miss . Any better ideas ? Cheers	1101 (13337)

I've never tried it on a Windows COA sticker, but it worked great on other things. Just make sure you soak the whole label right through with the stuff - it evaporates quickly! Or just do what I've done, and use the same case for the last 15 years :waughh:	Agent_24 (57)
