Updating to SSD

[BigD1]

If you already have Windows 10 installed, don't be surprised when the current activation won't activate because of major hardware changes like disk or motherboard. Some times you have to call them to re-activate, and they want to know what change you made. They already know what changed, so I guess they want to hear that from the user. Over the years, I have had to call once or twice over disk changes, and I think every time when I changed a motherboard. I don't know what methods they use to trigger re-activation, but it does happen.

If that happens, you just use the automated support line, they ask how many PC's its installed on, you press 1 and they give you what you need lol.

It usually only does that IF you change a whole system or a motherboard.

Yeah, illegally.


You can still get it free if you have accessibility issues. Microsoft doesn't ask for proof.

I suppose an inability to open your wallet to shell out money could be an accessibility issue.

I'm colorblind, that has to count for something...
