Microsoft Support Question Please

Hi Guys, yep, it is me again with another quick question on Win 8.1.

Today i contacted Microsoft Support and hoped they might help me activate this re/install of Win 8.1.

To make a long story short they found that my install of the product has an error/corrupt file that will never allow it to be activated.

They were very helpful and after trying many options suggested i reinstall with a new version and sent me a ISO download, and on completion of this download suggested i ring them back and then activate this OS.

The link they sent only has a 24 hour acceptance for download before it is unusable.

They said it will not alter anything on this Computer at all.

Question is: Is this correct, or should i just use what i have and don't bother with activation, or if i don't activate will it eventually stop working at all.

Your thoughts please, and thanks in advance,

Leon
