Re: Windows vista
You run the risk of deactivation if your running an OEM version of Vista and you change the motherboard because as far as MS are concerned the motherboard is basically the computer which is right I guess.Originally Posted by Ace_Combat_uk
Re: Windows vista
Yes I had it deactivated after a bios update for my motherboard, although I have done it numerous times since without issue. Any hardware or firmware update runs the risk of deactivating your OS. Ultimately call it in talk to the support and you should be up and running again without issue. A pain but reality.
