Will I ever need to activate Windows on my computer again?

Maybe. You might have to activate Windows again if:
  • You uninstall Windows on one computer and then install it on another. During installation, enter the product key that came with Windows. If automatic activation fails, follow the instructions that walk you through activating Windows by phone. You'll have 30 days to activate Windows.
  • You make a significant hardware change to your computer, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time. If a major hardware change requires activating Windows again, you'll be notified and will have three days to activate Windows.
  • You reformat your hard disk. Reformatting erases your activation status. In this case, you’ll have 30 days to activate Windows again.
  • A virus infects your computer and deletes your activation status.
If you have to activate Windows again on the same computer, you don't need to buy a new product key.
