It depends on your requirements. Personally I wouldn't remove any of those.

Well, actually it is surprising (to me). The whole idea of SLIC OEM keys was to further "tighten" an install source to a given PC/laptop, but the OEM license was "perpetual" (as long as it was installed on the same given PC/laptop and not "migrated" to different hardware). jaclaz It is obvious there is some difference between what Microsoft intended or designed for and what happens in the real world. It is supposed to be that if you had to reinstall Windows on your OEM computer, that when you install it with the recovery DVD, it will read the product key from the BIOS and not prompt for one and then activate automatically. I have not seen a situation where this doesn't work that way, other than reading about it on forums.

The product key in the BIOS is not intended to be entered manually. Telephone activation being required does not suprise me.

Something similar happened with Firefox I use at work, except it deleted all my plugins! The only thing I let auto update is Chrome because it has always been seamless, except for that time Flash stopped working a couple years ago.

There should be some mention somewhere on the website regarding the behaviour of the free version.

Does your Windows 8.1 install not let you enter the product key or does it install but not activate?

It wouldn't work. I think the purchase was partly to have something familiar to show off the Hololens but more likely it was to purchase the customers. It is a common trend these days to acquire new customers not by word of mouth or advertising, but to purchase them by aquiring another company.

You shouldn't post your real email on the forum. You can end up with getting spam that way.

Being a kid is ok. I wonder how people would react if someone's intro post was "Hi old people!"

Interesting... all my SWF files have CWS in their headers...

The files are not actually MP4 files. They have an extension of SWF but they aren't those either. Normal MP4 files have a file header that says ftyp followed by a designator as seen in this list: http://www.ftyps.com/ Two MP4 files I have on my computer for comparison have ftypisom and ftypmp42. The SWF files on the OneDrive link do not have file headers at all. This is why I believe that the files the OP uploaded are not going to be very helpful in recovery and that the original SD Card should be looked at again instead.

Hmm looks like they redid their website since last I used it. Looks to be running better! Everytime I went there it would take forever to load completely.

For checking on usability issues (website is up but not working properly) I would search on reddit or twitter. Those two places seem to be the go-to location to post about something not working.

AMD didn't fix it, they made their own CPU that supported both 32 and 64bit. It was also cheaper. Intel eventually made some of their own x86-x64 CPUs and gave up on the Itanium. I remember being involved with purchasing once upon a time and suggested an Itanium server. It was decided against due to the lack of software written for them.

If you are unable to enter BIOS setup without the HDD connected, you should probably replace the board/unit. The only thing you might be able to try first is to reseat the CMOS battery.

I typically deal with various wireless cards, and I find them to end up in this order: 1. Intel 2. Realtek 3. Atheros 4. Azurewave 5. Broadcom This is only personal experience and I only deal with them in notebooks and embedded products.

AMD64 means 64bit. It gets this name because AMD won the 64bit war against Intel's evil Itanium platform aka IA-64.

Eww gross. They never deleted the automated test message.

Strange, there was no animated avatar prior to me moving this topic here.

Note to others, that "someone" was me. I referred this user here for help with the actual SD card as I was not able to make anything of the files.

This is totally different. The BCD has nothing to do with how a computer functions technically. See if you can boot to USB or CD with the internal HDD removed.

Ads have been in the trial version of Office since 2010. Fortunately (so far) they have only been ads for other Microsoft products.

Today is Kelsenellenelvian's birthday! I had to copy and paste that because I doubt I'll ever remember how to spell that name.

The Win98 desktop screenshots you uploaded are compressed and not pixel perfect. You can easily see this by looking along the icon or window edges for artifacts. The images are being resized at some point and the ones you attached to your post are not helping. It could be that the forum is resizing them. Try uploading to Imgur instead.
