OEM versions of Windows dont have this problem, change some hddware no reactivation needed. Ive changed hddware over the years and never had to reactivate. In fact windows activation never had to go through all that crap with OEM, unless it just does it without me knowing. Retail windows though i hear is nothing but a pain in the ass if it fails. Plus OEM versions you can throw on more than one computer without needing a license. Otherwise i would be in sht creek with MS but both pcs get updates and pass the genuine check. OEM
