  1. Activating Windows 7 on an old PC


    Hi,A few months ago I upgraded my PC to give me a more modern machine with a faster processor and more memory. It came with Windows 11 which is serves me well.I am left with an old machine which which still works but is a bit underpowered by modern standards. What I want to do with it is run an old game I that ran fine on Windows 7 but not 10 or 11. The game doesn't need to be connected to the internet so I'm going to leave it off the network. This means I don't need to worry about security or software updates on an unsupported operating system. I've formatted the hard disc, installed Windows

    How to Rearm and Extend Free Usage (Activation Grace Period) of Windows 7 to 120 Days

    ‘Rearm’ trick on Windows 7 is done using the similar commands and steps with Windows Vista. Follow these steps to reset and extend activation grace period from 30 days to 120 days in Windows 7:

    Type any of the following commands into the command prompt, and then hit Enter:

    Code: sysprep /generalize slmgr.vbs –rearm rundll32 slc.dll,SLReArmWindows slmgr /rearm[/quote] As rearm only works for 3 times, make sure the command is only been run when the 30 days countdown of evaluation period is almost expired.

  4. Activating Windows 7 on an old PC

    Unlink an old android phone from my pc

    I go thru the suggested steps: Start - Settings - Phone - Unlink this PC.

    When I first open the "your phone" screen the old phone is listed. Not sure if the phone listed is suppose to be selectable or not, but my is not. When I select "Unlink this PC" the phone listed is removed. When I select "Add Phone" the old phone still
    shows. I have removed the old phone from my Microsoft Account. I have rebooted after unlink this pc but I still cannot remove my old phone.
