You can only activate one time. So it sounds like you have three PC's running it, one activated. Might be able to load and not activate. Not sure about the last part though. I've been out of the mattress game for a while.

I did that one one of them, and I hate it. Windows 7 Ultimate all the way baby, or Enterprise is nice too.

So what value is there to activating it? I don't notice any difference in performance or everyday use on any machine that I the same Windows 7 on.

That's technically true but Microsoft doesn't 'lock' you up until more than 3.

I believe it gives you 30 days to activate it before it forces the situation.

Apparently not. At least not for me. I think just Microsoft scare tactics...or they just don't give a crap about Windows 7...for the last 3 years.

iirc during installation if you don't tell it not to it will access a internet connection and activate itself automatically.

To see if Window 7 is activated:
Start > right-click Computer > click Properties down at the bottom

Why would you even want to activate it? What is the benefit to activating it? Nobody has been able to explain it.

I understand the irritation at Microsoft forcing it down everyone's throats, but I don't really understand the hate for the OS itself. It's their best OS yet by far in my opinion.

I'm not a super user, but it's not very convenient for me. Yeah, it's different so that admittedly is the main thing, but it auto locks the home screen and there is no way around it on Windows 10. That may not be a big deal to some, but for what I do it is. Also, it's more difficult to find programs and applications if you are not using a keyboard.

Win98 was pretty good. Win2000 was better. XP was awful and Vista wasn't much better. I was concerned about 7 but it exceeded my expectations. I was a late adopter to 8.1 but loved it. I was nervous about 10 but it's been amazing but after 30 days or so, I love it. |
