I wonder if they meant 2GB or 4GB in the SFV specs then :/
Should be the same every month.

Can we please just talk about my poor PC. If you all sing kumbaya it might fix it.

Anyone planning on getting Blood Bowl 2? Series seems interesting and it seems like a pretty place to jump in.
how is your pc still broken
take old hdd out
put new one in
it's not rocket science
Some of us moved on. But hey, what I am talking about. It's the country that is clawing at the concept of the imperial system.
Picked it up this morning. Haven't had a chance to play yet, probably this weekend.

Anyone who actually needs to use the imperial units on a regular basis is smart enough to convert between the two.

WIn10 not installing successfully still or what's up?

I feel like you just have bad luck.
"clinging" not "clawing"
also the imperial system of measurements is better.. it's more poetic and romantic.. euro-peons love to say shit like "hurr durr muricans are so dumb hurr" and yet we don't need to dumb down our measurement system to make everything divisible by 10 like Johnny and Susie learns to count.

Apparently not even being as smart as NASA engineers is enough though...
Soooo maybe the whole system stinks. Yep.

He said smart. NASA is mostly comprised of Americans. They haven't done anything useful since all those assimilated Nazi-scientists retired.

and the furthest Germany has ever sent a rocket was the UK

It will be fixed soon. I'm sure of it.
I thought America imported all its scientists even to this day.

Can you just reinstall a fresh 7 on the new HD and take it from there?
Because really, 10 isn't all that great.
10 is fantastic... I see you have the same taste in operating systems as you do in games.

Well it's moving at least.
Yeah I don't want Windows 10 but without the recovery I can't really do much.

if you do try getting it Nuuvem has it for about $20 (you'll need a VPN though)

I do hope I'm not late on this but NOPE, it doesn't store on MB and it doesn't store on MS servers. It stores your info on your HDD only. This is the "official" answer form MS techs over hours and hours of telephone calls.
I upgraded from 7 to 10, activated it, even linked to an hotmail account I had, then made a "real" clean install (formatting the HDD) and the result was the infamous "Please buy a w10 key, you bastard" in the bottom right corner of the screen.
If you're going to install W10 on a new HDD (or if you format it) you have to install the previous OS again, activate it, patch it to death, and then upgrade to W10.
PROTIP 1: already said but patch the "old" OS to death before upgrading to 10.
PROTIP 2: install previous OS and 10 with the least connected hardware possible. Took out extra HDDs, wifi adapters, etc and then wait 10 to be fully updated before reinstalling the hardware, possibly pieace by piece (turn off, physically install hw, turn on, load win, install drivers etc, turn off again and go on with the next hw piece and so on). Failing to follow this PROTIP might bring BSOD + hardware hangup (in this case it doesn't even log what happened).

Oh god. Things are looking even more bleak. If I reinstall Windows 7 from a new disk but use my old cd key will that work or is it gonna ask me to buy from that as well?

Eh, I got the blueprint bug, so good luck with that if Konami won't fix the game.
If you install a new version of W7 (ie with service pack etc) with an old W7 key it works perfectly. It even works if the language differs.
When i cloned my System drive from HDD to SSD my windows was deactivated (Win 8.1) and i simply called MS support in my country and they activated Win again. And i said them that i changed my HDD.
Still waiting on Pirate Warrior 3 patch. Waiting on Arkham Knight patch. Gaming is just waiting on patches.

Ok well looks like the plan has changed. Let's see what I can get a hold of and if it'll work.
S-rank all missions and R&D team at level 53 should be enough to unlock him

Oh wow, so bought. Hard to regret that.

That's what happens when you talk about football, every thread is more fun instantly!
Wait, this can't be right, can it? Because the official answer indeed is that the hardware id and Win key gets stored in your MS account. Maybe something else went wrong in your case?

Interesting!
I guess the pictures I saw where people said they unlocked him at 100% were just getting him by coincidental timing.
And this too. In the case the W7 keys refuses to work (it should, but you can't be sure with MS - usually with W7 and older OSes it was the change of MB that caused CD keys not to work anymore) call them and say you've just changed the HDD and they'll activate it without fuss.

After speaking with many "not very informed" people I'd the luck to speak with techs.
And it's what I asked to the MS techs. And they said that no, the key is stored on HDD only. If you change or format the HDD you have to reinstall the old OS and the re-upgrade it.
The question is, what will happen when it won't be free anymore to upgrade and you have to change/format the boot HDD?
Charging for removing the bloom?
Because of that "games radically redesigned before release" thread I've been reading up again about various leaked S.T.A.L.K.E.R. builds. I just love how much of that game was leaked and how you can observe how actually the game changed during the development. Hell, the earliest leaked builds are nothing more than simple engine tests, not even labeled as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Kinda shame the best resource about is is a Russian wiki, which I don't understand at all. :-/

In less than three weeks Rising Tide comes out for Civ Beyond Earth. I look forward to murdering everyone else with cyborg/alien hybrids...I mean exploring the new diplomacy system.
