Ok, so the fact is, I stripped my Laptops OS of its Product Key, thinking maybe I can use it, but now I am having second thoughts.

I want to use it on my latest PC build, and decommision my laptop.

I am great with PC hardware, but with software and OS jive, I'm not so great.

All replys are appreciated :)

if you have the product key it should work fine.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I wouldn't have thought G2A sold anything other then games, I will try the Key I have, and hope it's one that is reusable.

But if everything fails, I might as well go buy one from G2A, thanks :)

Should work fine but remember to get the right iso/disk version so if your key is english 8 pro get that disc it usually won't work if this is a mismatch.

I think that you have to call Microsoft and explain to them. They will reset it and let you use it once more. That's what i've read anyway.
