Hey guys I got a laptop and 2 copies of WIndows Vista Ultimate being fedex'd to me today. I dont have alot of experience with the new Windows Vista activation, My concerns basically are about hardware changes and reformats ect. My copies can be installed on two machines. Which will be my primary desktop and notebook computer. So I have a few questions for those who have more experience with Vista.
1) Should I reformat my hard drives on either computer. What do I have to go through to get windows reactivated on those machines?
2) Should I make large changes to my system ((IE new hard drives, new motherboards, Basic enthusiast things I do bi-monthly. And forcing myself a complete reinstall from a formatted hard drive. What would I have to go through to get windows reactivated?
I have done a little reading about it but cant find anything specific to the process. Considering the copies are legal Vista Ultimate copies it sure seems like a lot of hassle for reinstall and formats.
