[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1619043, member: 331386"] Sorry to say i feel sorry for you because thats not the worst of it. Even if you reinstall mac os x yosemite you will lose your copy of windows 8 and before you think you can just reinstall it again just a interesting reminder (windows 8 only allows one product activation after of which you have to call microsoft and hope they will activate it for you if not you have to purchase a new copy of windows 8.1) Because as of fri of last week microsoft has announced that they have stopped selling windows 7 and windows 8 and shifted to windows 8.1 and windows 10 dev preview. have fun i wish i had all of this information see in my case this happened amazon sent me a brand new copy of windows 8 i only purchase direct from amazon no other sellers ever on software to much piracy i installed windows 8 on a amd machine with a x64 processor after installing 8 microsoft a few weeks later went to windows 8.1 the installer for windows 8.1 told me i couldn't install it because i didn't have the see3 enabled processor so i upgraded the processor fully well knowing i had to reinstall windows 8 because it would deactivate the copy of windows and report my license key as illegal thanks to always online drm reinstalled my copy of windows 8 tried to activate told me i had to call microsoft i did got it activated no problems updated to windows 8.1 sorry your copy of windows cannot be activated because you have reached your activation limit called microsoft sorry your serial number is blocked we can sell you a new one at 250.00 went back to windows 7 [/QUOTE]
