So basically I've spent the week reviving my dead lenovo thinkcentre M82. Had a mobo power failure as nothing would happen on pressing the button.
So I changed the motherboard in it as I don't really have the cash for a new pc. Anyway after fitting the board all went well but I was planned with 'activate windows' watermark all of a sudden.
I spent about half hour on the phone to Microsoft whos advice was buy another win 10 licence. To which my response is they must be mad it's a 8 year old machine and it's had win 10 pro all its life.
So after telling them to do one my system that same night asks to reboot to update and then BAM I have windows again without any effort.
So the question I pose is do Microsoft not care and just bully people now into re-buying stuff over? Are they in the right
Also if anyone can tell me how stable and reliable Zorin Os is from experience I'd love to hear it as I'd considered that scince Microsoft robbery policy
