Windows 10: Windows vista activation.

Complicated question time:I was going to activate windows vista ultimate on 2 computers Older computers that don't support 10/11. i originally put in the key for one,but this machine was one that was offline, and i activated it over the phone. Is the key that i originally put in still valid for another use from technically not being used ,because of the phone activation, or do i have to get another?Sorry if this is confusing to understand : I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

:)

 

Windows Vista Activation

I have 4 sytems in my home running vista(1 ult.-3 prem).The ultimate & 1 premium took SP1
wthout a hitch.1 premium required re-activation?,The other premium did not list SP1 in windows up-date,So i manually installed it without any re-activation required.
Also have to add that SP1 has increased performance in every comp.The ultimate machine actually got a 1,100 point increase in 3d 06 without any other changes at all.

 

Windows Vista Activation

Holy *Eek! ! 1100pts from going to SP1? That's awesome! I can't wait until this weekend! *Big Grin

 

Vista Pre-SP1 vs. Vista SP1

I've been Windows Updating for two straight days and I finally saw SP1. If you want to troubleshoot it, follow these steps:

• Show hidden updates
• Manually install any failed updates (google the KB_____ and install from the windows site)
• Make sure everything in Device Manager is good to go

I had to do step two for like 4 or 5 updates to be able to see SP1.

Any other benchmarks you guys want to see? I might try PCMark05 (I think it works on Vista).
