These are I think quite straightforward questions but just want to check that I've got this straight.
I need to install an SSD in a new (second hand ) laptop without an optical drive. I've tried my old desktop SSD in the laptop partly to test the old SSD which I've been having problems with and partly to see if it'll fit in the laptop and whether win 7 will run ok. The problem is that the software recognised a new computer and asked to be activated - which I didn't.
Despite not activating one particular piece of software whilst the old SSD was in my laptop, I'm being told that when the old SSD is back in my desktop there are only a limited number of uses left of the software concerned!
Also, I've ordered a new SSD for the laptop and I was thinking of installing all my programs on a new SSD via my desktop and then transferring the SSD to the laptop, but how will this affect my allowed max number of installs for my software?
Finally I need to re-format my old SSD in the desktop and create a logfile to send to Intel - has anyone else done this? Is it quite straightforward? How long do they take to respond?
My head's spinning after writing this and hope someone can make sense of it all to give me some advice - cheers
