I like it, and update only ONE THING AT A TIME between reboots and restore points. Microsoft allows 3 activations total before they start to get really suspicious, so if you do not want to lost another of those precious Microsoft activations, keep this possibility in mind. Finally, with no other choice, I activated Windows again.
No matter what I did to undo what Driver Booster had done, the need to re-activate Windows remained. Sure enough, the machine booted up but what I had not expected was that Windows wanted to be activated again, probably due to so many changes at once.
I was surprised to see that ioBit Driver Booster had a huge list of outdated drivers to replace. What did I have to lose? Even if it did replace any drivers I still had the original CD, and plus I could back up all my drivers first using Driver Booster. After having read pretty good reviews on GOTD, I decided to give it a shot. On one of these times, ioBit Driver Booster was being offered. After leaving the system off for several weeks, it would finally boot into Windows. The system would fail to fully boot, hanging at the "Enter UEFI" screen.
I had not got to the point of having a disk image restoration set up yet due to the ASUS Cold Boot Bug. I was having trouble with other parts of the hardware and the associated drivers that came with the motherboard.
The initial install had completed, and I had already activated Windows. I was in the process of setting up a Window 7 Pro desktop using a new ASUS Maximus Extreme VIII motherboard.
