amateurandy Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Just bought it. Anyone have any experience on this new software. gonna install it to my PC later today 1 Why and for what machine? 2 Yes, I was a Beta tester 3. Upgrade or clean install? (or dual-boot? - take care it's a very different mechanism to XP) What edition did you get? If it's Basic, or your machine isn't the right specification you won't get the Aero interface.

amateurandy Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Unless anyone knows where I can get a key from before I open the packet after that it can't be returned Er.....this is a Security Forum and that probably would be illegal. Unless they were suggesting that you download a non-Microsoft Freeware/Shareware OS Your package should contain a key that is required for installation. You will then also have to "activate" it (i.e. record it with Microsoft) or it will stop working; not sure if that's within 14 or 30 days though. So, in summary INSTALLATION requires a valid key. ACTIVATION is required for ongoing use after the initial period. The system can be disabled at activation if Microsoft think it's a stolen key, or it can refuse to activate for a number of reasons (e.g. too many installs) though the latter can be overcome by a phone call for genuine cases.
