For me, this might be the final nail in the coffin for windows 10.

So I am using a version of windows 10 that was upgraded from windows 8. Because I had to change something temporarily (my ram to RMA as soon as patriot's website isn't broken) and now it has lost activation. Who added this stupid feature? Because I do not like it.

Damn. It used to be major hardware swaps like motherboards and now it's RAM? What's next, new mouse deactivates Windows?

Actually, it can since Windows 10 really doesn't like changes in hardware.

Google it.

I used to be quite active here.

I swear sometimes it's easier to just pirate. 

 

I've had a legit copy of win8 for a while now (I won it from MS), but I find it easier to use a pirated copy because it's way easier to install/reinstall.

I actually changed my wallpaper and it banned my key. Just kidding!

I unplugged my flash drive without ejecting it properly and now Windows deactivated itself...

Yah I feel the same way. I decided to finally try to own a legitimate OS, but I guess if MS wants to play this way, I can do the same...

I literally just changed my RAM from 4GB or HyperX Blu DDR3 to 8GB of crucial ballistix sport RAM.

what caused me to loose activation? it was a full 24 hours before it said anything

sounds very strange..but changing ram doesn't deactivate 10...I know cause Ive already done this a few times

now as for reactivating..you'd probably have to do it the automated phone way

no I mean I don't mind paying for a licence, even after I do it's still strangely easier to just use the pirated version because MS BS. 

I've had less OS issues running hackintosh.....

 

thats just sad.

I mean I really like the interface but it still has so many issues...

I mean what can you really expect. It just came out there is bound to be bugs

Do you play football/soccer?
