avatar12m · 16 Apr 2010 at 14:27

is there anyway to re-install my win7 64bit ( have original) without going through the activation thing, just my ssd is clogged up and running slow i want rid of all the rubbish and want a total fresh install ( full format stype ) is it possible or will windows say i have allready registered it.

i switched things off and on in reg i cannot even remember and just want to have a fresh install with every thing back at default, or is there some way to reset common settings back to default ?

or officially do i need a new copy?

Just reinstall it and re-activate it - if it's a genuine copy it will be fine.

As above, you should have no problem reactivating. At worst you will have to go through a 5 minute conversation with a robot over the phone, but that is highly unlikely.

It didn't pass the Turing test in your opinion then?

If it won't activate just use the phone number it gives you , it automated and just follow the instructions. ( you use you'r phone to enter number etc).
