    It is so hard to tell what this WAT update will do. My best suggestion would be to just wait til next week and see what happens. If you get deactivated then try Daz's solution dude.

    You guys says we can refuse to update that checking, and we can avoid it. But I would bet M$ will refuse you from any further update if you don't install it, unless you don't want to update anymore, or you should have a way to work around it. The game will never end unless you pay!!! You should get use yo it!!!

    Daz is already a legend, and I am surprised he wasn't mentioned this time (I think people respect Daz so much that they haven't been overexposing him like the other programmers which is good!). As for this new WAT nonsense.... the only thing I am concerned about is the signals it will send out weekly or every 90 days, I actually wanted to ask Daz on this thread if he already has a way to deal with that. I'm sure it won't be too difficult for you, but just wondering. Like always, many thanks for your efforts.

    thats the thing a lot of people are saying now they will all have to match but like some boards they dont have specific keys for then im not sure what they will do. if there never was a key for a specific mobo but there is a cert then what will they do? this is what makes me wonder if they will really have to match or not.

    Install the WAT vaccine I made above, then install a matching slic cert and key (make sure they all match) and you should be fine

    I think MS are starting to detect BIOS mods based on their memory location, too. Try using a Dynamic mod
