| Guest | Upgrading Hardware Hi all, I'am going to be upgrading/adding new hardware over the weekend and I would like to know if I need to re-activate Windows. I running Windows Vista Ultimate, and the hardware changes are going to be a new Graphics Card and adding one extra DDR2 Memory. How many changes do Microsoft allow before you have to re-activate Vista. Thank you, |
