1426228 2016-09-21 08:33:00 I didn't because Win 10 doesn't support Media Center.

Didn't stop me, I found Kodi is better anyway ;)

1426229 2016-09-21 09:20:00 Just because Win10 doesnt support media centre, it doesnt mean you cant reinstall it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1426230 2016-09-21 09:41:00 Note: as of yesterday you can still use a W7 key to install and upgrade to W10 and it activates.

What the bet that the free upgrade will end when this comes along for Windows 7

1426235 2016-09-21 13:21:00 Several times and on several forums when I was having problems with Ubuntu Server I asked what should be a simple question relating to networking and file sharing for anyone who knew what they were doing on Linux servers, after roughly 3 weeks of getting nothing but BS completely wrong answers that didn't work, and when wanting more info, no responses,Citation needed. fred_fish (15241)
1426236 2016-09-21 19:36:00 If you ran a repair install and the DVD had SP 1 already then no it shouldn't.

How much is the son in love with the gaming ;) Meaning what you can try, throw in another HDD, install W7 Wsp1 from fresh, .

Lots.
God no.............I really want to avoid that because of the amount of stuff to install in C:

Including all his work stuff, it took a bit from the company IT guy last time too...........

I'll try the repair.
Thanks

Thanks The install fresh on another drive was only meaning to see if it held the activation. If it does then you know there's some sort of corruption / program causing it to deactivate and know where to start hunting the problem down on the current install.
