I today I got a message asking me to activate windows because there had been
a hardware change. I have had this machine for several months and have not
recently made any hardware changes. The only thing I changed was to upgrade
the Intel Matrix Manager on my computer. Will I need to reactivate windows
every time I upgrade this? This seems rather tedious. Wouldn't it make more
sense to attach the activation key to the hardware and not something based on
a driver? Otherwise, I'll be wasting my time and Microsoft's money speaking
with activation support people every month or two as I upgrade.
Thanks.
