    Hi,
    I am new to the forum. I've been reading a lot of threads and I got really confused over how to activate Win7.
    Basically I see people talking about SLIC/certificate and win 7 lo*der. Are they two different methods or are they to be used together? Do they both involve BIOS modification? If so what is the difference (i.e. which one is less risky in terms of producing a bricked computer?)
    I am using Lenovo T61 with a slic version 2.0. Which is a better solution for me? I see a lot of posts about slic, but also people say win 7 lo*der is much better and is like the older vista lo*der which worked perfectly

    Thanks a lot for giving me some tips!
