Save Yourself Some Money and Buy the Upgrade Version of Windows 7
April 1st, 2010 at 12:51 amIt should still work. I recently installed an upgrade version of Win 7 using this hack, with no problems.
Save Yourself Some Money and Buy the Upgrade Version of Windows 7
November 6th, 2009 at 9:56 amWhile the “rearm” command resets the activation clock, in this case I think its just only to trigger the activation to look at the OOBE registry change. I believe the MediaBootInstall registry change is what allows it to activate.
Once activated, no need to worry about timers, 30 day notices, etc. Activated is activated.
But I will find out, I just installed Win 7 on a machine and using this method was able to activate it. If it stops working later, I will certainly post an update.
