Yes windows can only be on one computer at a time.

So if I want it on two I have to buy another key? Could have sworn you could have it on more than one.

What do you think of this card http://www.amazon.com/PNY-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics-VCGGTX9704XPB/dp/B00NH5ZNWA/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1423356218&sr=1-11&keywords=gtx+970

It's a 970.
They are generally all the same. Biggest difference between brands is going to be cooling and clock rates.
As far as I understand PNY is a good brand.

~~Why not get Windows 7?~~
Well, either way I guess.

Going to upgrade to Windows 10?

Yea, it's free. And you know they'll have stuff that will be 10 only.

I wish 7 was cheaper but nope, both about the same.

I'm upgrading to ten asap. 8.1 sucks.

I'm afraid 10 is going to suck too. I don't think a lot of the ms fans out there realize that Ms has a long history of putting out bad os.

Yes but only every other os is bad. Hence 10 is good.

MS stopped doing multiple uses for their software few years back.

Even MS Office is one time usage unless..you get the 365 version which is a yearly subscription that allows you to install up to 5 PCs.

I've had no issues with 8.1 so far :O

(Other than the Metro App screen - which I disabled at start up).

Yeah behind the scenes 8.1 is nice. Its front end and all the stupid apps is what's annoying. No way will Windows 10 get rid ofthese apps, but hopefully it integrates them better.
