[QUOTE="Jeff Cummings, post: 7668, member: 2515"] By the way, I can tell you the history of my computer: I bought it with Windows 8, upgraded to Windows 8.1. I work as a Computer Technician (support) but only just started (a year and a half ago), and my co-worker recommended that I try a USB boot for Linux to see what Linux was. Well, long story short, I installed Linux over Windows 8.1, lost everything, of course, it was a brand new computer, so I didn't lose much, but my pride. Anyways, I continued to use Linux, until I realized that Windows 10 Tech Preview was free, and the OS was going to be free, so I decided to download that, and give it a try. Activated no problem, I've actually been using Windows 10 for almost a year now, I think I started in October? November? .... Anyways, I've installed all the builds in the fast ring, and the final build 10240 RTM, and I activated with the provided keys that were displayed during my download process from Microsoft. Now none of those keys work for my mom, and that's why I'm worrying about it. Alright, thanks, Jeff [/QUOTE]
