    Move harddisk to new Thinkpad- now activation issue


    Hi everybody,

    I moved my Samsung SSD to my new T480 Lenovo Thinkpad (from an T440). I did so a year ago from on T440 to a new T440 with no problem at all.

    This time, I had to go into the bios to make the machine start from my Samsung SSD, and now Microsoft apperently does not accept the product keys anymore- neither from Windows 10 or from my Office licence. In contrast, there are some threats that I will not be able to use this software for long- and that annoys me because I paid all licences, and expect them to work.

    All other software (non Microsoft) licences are fine.

    I checked my MS account, and the harddrive is so to speak listed now as two machines, with the old one, of course not detectable any more.

    I am wondering if it helped that I would delete the old machine? I haven't done yet so because it does only sound as if the old machine is than not visible any more but still in the MS system- and that probably wouldn't help much.


    Looking forward to any reply.


    Kind regards, Ama

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
