Windows Product Activation - REACTIVATE!!!!!!!!! WHY???

[Martin]

Just got the following message at restart:

"Since Windows was first activated on this computer, the
hardware on the computer has changed significantly. Due
to these changes, Windows must be reactivated within 3
days. Do you want to reactivate Windows now?"

Why do I have to reactivate, how to I do it, and what
info will I need?

Thanks in advance

just follow the onscreen messages. it because who changed some of your
hardware, just like it says.

That is normal. If this is your first re-activate, it should do so via the
Internet. The rest will require a call to Microsoft.

Or phone through to the 0800 number as suggested on screen; its painless,
can be done without talking to anyone and only takes about 5 mins.
