I must admit Daz' Loader is better when setting up computers for relatives. I don't necessarily want to host KMS for them, if they have network access at all. Personally, KMS all the way.
Hm, most of my earlier 7s were activated through Bios mod including the Slic 2.1 never bricked a Bios, all went perfect due to the former Bios Killer .... lol This was the most convenient method to have genuine Oses without any issues in terms of updates etcetera. Unfortunately this way is not available for W8 atm and probably will be closed forever for W8. But I'm very positive, that DAZ has some ideas which might work in the future
no the loader is not Slic it emulates a slic. Plus i dont have to mess with the bios the system already has slic 2.1. so why should i chose a kms or a loader. Difference Loader= good but you never know when it comes to updates. Microsoft could patch it. Kms = have to reactivate every 180 days. Slic= once activated it will always be activated. So please tell me again which is the best way again.
SLIC triumphs over all. Pertinently activated no matter what (Except if you update your BIOS with an official OEM Bios update and not a modded one if you use a modded BIOS)
"""Loader, because it's simple and Microsoft has yet to patch it and we already have Windows 8..""" u been a member of this community since 2010. i feel bad for you. let me ask you something what happens with daz loader if i want to dual boot windows 8 and windows 7?
if its not broken don't mess with it lol. anyways guys i thank you all for the replays even though out of my initial request. Im going to try disabling uefi and activate with slic if that does not work i'm going to call Microsoft and request my downgrade rights. i f i get no where with Microsoft my relatives can suck it up and learn to use windows 8. Oh and daz no disrespect man i still got love for you.
The source indeed matters - if you are at a Walmart, Best Buy, etc at just the right time you can find amazing laptop deals, always with a pre-installed OS that may not be your personal favorite, but still probably beating a similar laptop without os that you find with google
if your bios have SLIC 2.1 (or 2.2 or 3.0) the daz loader dont "emulate bios activation" it activate Windows 7 for real whitout reboot.... easy, clean and legal !!! just install Windows 7 Ultimate Volume, no serial nedeed ... run the loader an enjoy an legal copy of Windows 7 ... end of the story ... .
the SLIC Toolkit reported that my laptop has no SLIC Table what the heck. When i used the loader it had to insert a certificate and key and something else (forrgot) then it reoboted. Bare in mind that my laptop comes with Windows 8 shouldnt that mean I must have SLIC 3?
Or you can press the dump button in the loaders advanced settings. If you've got an MSDM then it'd dump it and it'll be viewable in something such as notepad.
