Hello,
I recently bought and installed Windows 8 and was quite disappointed with my 3dmark11 results - in comparison to my previous settings: same settings and hardware on Win7 64 bit with 3dmark11.
Additionally, I am not so impressed with the changes they made with Win8, and I rather have the Win7 back.
Therefore I wish to go back to my Windows 7 installation, but I do not wish to lose that activation code, so I might use windows 8 next time I buy a computer or on my secondary pc
Can anyone please recommend how to de-activate and release the activation code/serial key, for later use on a different computer (different motherboard etc)???
Is it even possible? if not, what happens when I try to install this copy of windows on a new pc?
