    Two PCs running the same License somehow.


    Hello,I recently built a second PC and I bought a physical Windows 11 License. During the installation process by Installation media, I was required to provide the license key but the physical key did not ship yet, so I continued without a key and finished the installation.To my surprise, there was no "Activate Widows Now" Watermark and when i check the settings it shows Windows 11 as Activated.I have a primary PC, that runs Windows 10, also activated with a physical license key. It also does not show any Watermark and marks Win 10 as activated.Both PCs are connected to the same account but on

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    PC Build Steps

    1.1 - Ideally put optical in SATA 0, and SSD in SATA 1, this will cause the optical drive to be the default 1st boot option. You can change it manually if not, but I like it this way
    2.infinity - yes, that's fine. if it's above 70 +/- 5 degrees, then it may just need a repaste/remount

    Games running worse on new PC? (Max Payne 3 horrible framerate on Skylake 6700k)

    but running heaven will be of NO use if You dont follow the steps listed above.(just making sure)
    you need to rule out Drivers as a source, then move on from there. Also is the 970 in the top PCI lane?
