It only takes a few minutes. A voice recognition bot will do all the work for you.

If microsoft say that its been used already; ie pass you through to someone, don't panic. Just explain that you had to re-install your machine and changed your motherboard.

Obviously, if you have installed this copy/key on multiple machines, your breaking the law, so be vigilant

On jan 1 i had to reactivate mine too ,legit copy ,because of so many hardware changes ,but mine went through
