Something that has confused me for a while... so can someone explain it to me please.
Any windows install... the important thing is the Windows Key.... so why does MS make resinstalls such a PITA process?
I had to reinstall win XP recently - my disk was original.. so prior to any SP
So I installed... with the intention of letting Microsoft update get it up to SP3 etc... would it work?... would it F*&k
MSupdate does not support original
I had to root around and find a SP disk to get it to SP2... before MSupdate would work.. thats OUTRAGEOUS!!! XP.. fully supported product...WHY?
Anyway... a right royal PITA..... What I SHOULD be able to do is go to MS and get the XP SP3 install ISO... after all... the important bit is the key... so why
restrict the ISO?
Why cant I download a Win7 Ult SP1 ISO for when/if I need reinstall my current machine? I have a ligitimate key... so why the hasstle?
Can anyone explain it please?
Thanks in advance.
