Reinstall Windows - license de-activation needed?


stalfos

Question

Hi,

Due to some stability issues I intend to do a clean install of Windows 10.

Do I need to de-activate the Drivepool license beforehand, or can I simply type in my key again on the new installation ? The hardware will not change, same mobo, CPU etc

It's best to deactivate first.  

While, usually, you shouldn't need to deactivate in this circumstance, the reinstallation process can change some of the information that we use to identify the system.  So it's better to deactivate first, since that takes like 30 seconds.  Otherwise, if it doesn't activate on the new install, you'd need to activate the trial and then contact us.
