PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 not unless you want to go through WGA activation everytime you install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsukai Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 are you talking about serial key or oobe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 oobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsukai Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 well i dont use OOBE. does it still affact WGA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 You probably 'dont use' oobe BECAUSE your installation is being preactivated by the oembios.bin file. if you remove it, you will likely have to activate using oobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsukai Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 so if i dont have oembios files i need OOBE to activate. But i dont like having oobe running... and i dont like to have a huge 12 mb file either... can i make my oembios smaller somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
