    I was looking for the "weighting" of hardware criteria that determimes HarwaredID threshold but can't find it.. so here is just some info I found which is plausable (based on my previous research).
    The information I have about HWID and digital license can be seen in this post: Why I can't change my hard disk drive letter from I: to D: ? Solved - Windows 10 Forums

    That activation error usually means the key is a volume licensing key. How did you originally activate Windows 8.1?

    I originally got the key from my friend I think, remember this was a long time ago! Think he had it over from school or something.
