A total newbie - slic2.1 + gigabyte mobo

[shays10]

Hi,

I'm sorry for the basic question:
I'm building a new system using a GA-MA770-UD3 rev.2 motherboard (gigabyte)
I have found the following threads :
http://www.bios-mods.com/showthread.php?tid=933&pid=3644
http://www.bios-mods.com/showthread.php?tid=421

Is there any difference between them?
The 2nd link contains a HP cert. How do I use it?
I tried navigating around in the forums but I couldn't find a FAQ for newbies...maybe I just missed it - so just refer me to the correct place

Since it's the first time I'm trying to mod my bios - I'd rather go on the safe side and ask questions that may sound silly.

Thanks for the help!

1. Copy and paste ******.XRM-MS certificate file into C-Drive.

2. After pasting this file into C-Drive, go to START - ALL PROGRAMS - ACCESSORIES - COMMAND PROMPT. Right click on Command Prompt and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

3. When Command Prompt opens, type at the prompt: slmgr.vbs -ilc c:\hp.xrm-ms and hit the Enter Button. Wait for the Script Host to answer you with a message that the license was installed successfully....this could take a few minutes and so be patient.

4. After receiving the message that the license was installed successfully, type at the command prompt: slmgr.vbs -ipk *****-*****-*****-*****-***** (Replace with any OEM SLP Product Key for your installed version of Windows 7 , they are not hard to find).Be Patient and wait for the message to say that the Product Key was sucessfully installed. After it says successfully installed, reboot the computer.

5. When you are back at your desktop, go to START - COMPUTER - right click on Computer and choose PROPERTIES and see if it is activated with an OEM product ID.
