    So lately I been helping out someone with their ancient MSI Windtop AIO and we been trying various OS’s on there.

    First we tried Windows 10 64-bit and the computer didn’t like that at all. The fan got loud and the animations were really slow. It’s only got 2 gigs of RAM.

    So then I tried Windows 7 32-bit and the guy who I’m helping he bought a key for Windows 7 Professional and even it was a brand new key it got blocked.

    I also tried Windows 10 32-bit but the Windtop fan got really loud again and same performance issues.

    So then he got one from cjs-CDKeys.com and it was an OEM key and even it was new it was also blocked. Are Microsoft known to blocking OEM keys? I also got to help him clean installing Windows 7 on a Dell Latitude and that one self activated because it was pre-installed with the same OEM key.

    So now the Windtop has 8.1 and hopefully activating 8.1 shouldn’t be an issue.

    I just found an old OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium so that should be valid for me to use on the Windtop.

    removewat works nothing. Do not tell people "works", for their own good. There is nothing good about "removewat".

    Just do not do it.

    All links at the official daz loader thread work, both magnets work and there are some mirrors provided which work too.
    And if they don't work for you, ask for a mirror in the official loader discussion/support thread.
