Long story short, a hard drive died on me, then on the replacement, windows kept nuking itself and running sluggish or freezing after/during install. Eventually got it working but it reckoned I activated windows too many times. Didnt know that was possible at the time as I was under the impression thats what the retail version held over the OEM version.
Just wanted to know if I could get internet re-activation turned back in? Whats the difference in the retail and OEM if I can't and would I be able to get a refund if internet re-activation can not be re-activated. Feeling a tad miffed after paying £150 for the retail version, then getting offered the same thing, for £60 odd through WGA validation there when there wasnt really a difference in the end.
I asked the woman I had on the phone last time if I could get it re-activated but the language barrier was intense and I couldnt understand what she was talking about, probably partly to do with her difficulty to understand me too.
I know I can keep ringing up, but at times by the time my PC has finished formatting its 1-2am or later, and I dont really fancy playing international pub quizz at those times.
