    Will my Win10 still be "legitimate" after replacing boot drive?


    I am considering replacing my SATA SSD boot drive with one of the new PCI SSD devices. To do this I'd simply do a Macrium Restore from a backup to the new boot drive. But is this enough of a hardware change to invalidate my Win10 validation with MS?

    If I'm going to have to spend 2 hours on the phone with them I need to make specific plans for that.

    :)

  2. my phone " keys in " some numbers while talking

    As I said in my first post you can either try to update it's software to see if it cures it.

    If it doesn't then your phone is faulty and you will need to get it repaired.

  3. " SOFTWARE UPDATE FAILED "

    Hi, my friend.

    try to write shorter.

    you can do this:

    uninstall NSU,nokia pc suite and any relative drivers.

    install the latest version of nokia software updater and pc suite.

    connect your phone with compatible usb in general mode profile.

    with medium pc requirements and fast speed internet connection,between 20~30 min,you should refresh your phone with new fw.

    Replacing the drive will have no affect on your Windows license or activation.
