"Since windows was first activated on this computer, the hardware on the computer has changed significantly. Due to these changes, windows must be reactivated within 3 days".
I suddenly got this message today on start up and I have no idea what to do. What does it mean? And what will happen if I dont proceed? To make matters worse, I have no internet connection so even if I do activate it, I'll be stuck on a blank screen. MY LAN connection has been disconnected somehow and now after trying everything and I mean everything I think the Network Card is failing. Thats been confirmed by the tech guy.
But I thought thats okay, since Istill have WIFI on my laptop. But now Ive got this "3 day warning or else" message. A 7 day would have been a bit fair. I tried disabling it but its not going away. I dont think its a virus. Its genuine as the "activation keys" windows comes up- and thats also located under accessories.
Ive never encountered something like this so I have no idea what to do. Im scared if I "activate" it will wipe out everything or I'll just end up with a blank screen.
