I cant load any streams at all. At first it is just stuck at "loading video" and is soon followed by "failed to load video". Also Twitch chat keeps repeating "sorry, we were unable to connect to chat. Reconnecting in 0 seconds." Even tried uninstalling the whole thing but it is still not working. Works fine with other browsers. | ||

Lets say I bought a newly built computer from someone. With everything set, and Windows 7 installed and everything. lets also say he had a SDD and HDD in and got the OS into the SDD. If i bought this pc, and decided to break it apart and sell it for parts, will anything change? Like if someone bought the HDD and SDD from me, would all the data and such be in it already? (for example, if someone bought the SDD that had the OS installed to it, will it come with the OS?) and if it does, does that mean he wont need to buy a new copy of windows? EDIT: i ask this because an opportunity came by with a great offer of a full pc thats already built and with windows 7 installed and ready to use. so i was planning on buying it and selling the other parts that i wont need. | ||

(if not that sucks, i was hoping i can use a friends copy that he has already on a new build) and the pc that he is selling already has windows 7 installed. does that mean he can scam me and just use his key making the windows 7 on the pc i buy from him gone or something? | ||

OEM Windows can only be activated on one computer at a time so no you can't use a friend's copy if he's already using it. If Microsoft detects it, which they likely will, both computers with the same key will become not genuine. Yes, you can get scammed by buying any software used. | ||

or i can download them for free online. if i choose to get the disk copy, i know how i can use that to install a clean copy onto a new pc. but if i choose to get the free one, how would i actually install that to a new pc? (also, it seems weird that i can "download" a OS on a pc that already has one.) | ||

I just thought its weird because i thought that if you download the OS when you already have one, it'll start reformatting and replacing your current OS with the one you just downloaded. | ||

Those are official downloads for Microsoft so there's nothing risky about it. | ||

You don't get the Windows installation media. They want $5 as a fee to burn you a disc. What they would do is using one of those disc images as source for burning that disc. | ||
