My Dell Laptop Had a cracked Screen and was having Hardware problems....
SOLUTION: I bought a HP Mini which the owner had a Virus and stated WiFi did not work.
I used my Dell Components... I replace the Memory, Added the Dell WiFi the removed the HP's small Hard Drive which had Windows 7 Starter with my 500Gig Hard Drive. Due to Motherboard driver incompatibilities, I had to use the re-install for my Windows
7 starter. After 5 days of updates installed I was back and running with a slightly faster Machine... that was 2 months back... All worked fine including the updates and my Windows security suite..
3 days Windows suddenly fail the Windows Validation???? I was frustrated, I owned both Net-books thus two copies of Windows. So I contacted Windows support. After explaining the Mother Board switch.. they stated Windows viewed this as a pirated version...
they could do nothing... when asked, basically they insinuated I was a pirate to do this. To use my EET degree to repair my own system then use the Windows on the Dell Hard Drive with the HP Motherboard - Was in MS view a, me pirating Window 7 (starter no
less, as if I would not use a better version if I was a thief).
This shows me Microsoft has lost it's integrity... I am going to start a posting campaign. If anyone knows of a class action for this please inform me.
Microsoft informed me to BUY yet another Windows... My question is: Who is/are the PIRATE in this tale of betrayal from a former loyal customers?
