    My Nokia C3 is not supporting softwares

    I have tried so many ways to download softwares, but to my efforts are all fruitless. When i go to other sites to download and install softwares, the place to download the software will not even be active and when i download from ovi store it is not supported.
    What should i do to end this problem?

  3. upgrading hardware when upgrading to windows 10

    Hi,

    You want to be certain you have a Retail Windows 8.1 License.

    If it is preinstalled OEM (Dell.HP, etc) or an OEM System Builders License, you can't change the Motherboard.

    This explains it:

    You can not replace the Motherboard with an OEM preinstalled License with whatever Motherboard you wish to when you have a preinstalled OEM License (HP, Acer, etc)

    .

    You have to follow the directives or you void your OEM License.

    Q. If my customer asks me to upgrade a PC with new hardware components, when is a new operating system needed? When would the PC be considered "new"?

    A. Generally, an end user can upgrade or replace all of the hardware components on a computer—except the motherboard—and still retain the licence for the original Microsoft OEM operating system software. If the
    motherboard is upgraded or replaced for reasons other than a defect, then a new computer has been created. Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred to the new computer, and the licence of new operating system software is required.

    If the motherboard is replaced because it is defective, you do not need to acquire a new operating system license for the PC
    as long as the replacement motherboard is the same make/model or the same manufacturer's replacement/equivalent, as defined by the manufacturer's warranty.



    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@



    If you bought and installed your own Retail Vista License, you can change Motherboards.

    Cheers.
