snidera,

how long did it take for the download email from the win & office people after you processed the purchase?

just checked - it was 7 minutes from paypal receipt email to download link email.
I wouldn't think holiday would affect europe, but maybe weekend could make it take longer?

I checked reviews before purchasing & didn't get any red flags. I bet they come through for you.

I pulled the trigger on it as well. It took about 10 minutes before the email came through. Loaded it onto the little notebook we use for the kids homeschool and all went smooth!

A 5 PC license for $25 is fantastic. I'll be loading it onto my laptop and my wife's even older laptop once they are back up and running well.

Finally got the gifted SSD installed today and did a completely fresh install via the bootable media generated USB. No problems during the install and it activated without me having to input a key, so I guess it successfully pulled it from BIOS.

This machine runs much better than new now. It goes from dead off to login screen in about 11 seconds, and just another 2 seconds or so to get into Windows! Speedy for sure. This ssd’s are much faster for sure!

Thanks!
