  • Windows 11 and replacing

    From Utopian Galt@VERT/IUTOPIA to All on Saturday, March 26, 2022 16:01:00
    I am thinking about buying a 2nd generation ryzen processor since it would be supported by Windows 11, is buying a used cpu a risky choice?

    i would only buy it from a friend. you dont know how it was handled or treated. some jerkwad could have tried to overclock it and maybe ran it without a heatsink. or he touched it and got his oil on it.

    Will that force me to buy a new windows licence?

    There used to be a telephone activation option you could use when you failed the validation and needed to activate after the upgrade threshold had been passed.


    ... Simply a matter of work
