i wanted to buy a used gaming pc with decent specs on it for a steal but it does not included a storage system. i was planning to use my laptop's hard drive as i have no more money to spend on an ssd (maybe for a later day)
since i have a laptop, chances are the os is tied to my mobo, and i couldnt just plug and play my hdd to my new system
but as i was searching through the activation setting on windows 10 settings, i saw a message that caught my eye. "windows is activated using your organization's activation service". i ofcourse did some research and found out that this windows was activated on a one time activation key for widespread systems. activated on a volume they say? usually done on business systems
but to my knowledge, my laptop wasnt used for business. and usually they say windows on this activation method should be renewed within 180 days. i've used it for 5 years and never had a windows renew message pop up.
what does this mean?
