Tried following MSI's instructions here?

Thanks for the reply. I looked over that a good fair few times last night.
I thought the telephone activation system would mean I had to talk to some Indian call centre and get nowhere, something I wasn't in the mood for last night. Anyway just rang it to realise it was automated and sent a message straight to my mobile, 5minutes later I have managed to activate windows 7 again. Very clever system that.
Slightly better mood now. Think the overheating is because my old CPU is having to do all the work as it never had time to update the GPU drivers etc.
So this time round, because I never learn:
Fully update windows 7
'Upgrade' to windows 10
Then I can do a fresh Install of windows 10 and it will be activated already
Is this right?
Thanks
