Folks,
I have been away from music for about a year. Will need to re-learn a lot.
Last week, my 2.5 year old Lenovo (motherboard) died. I live in Thailand with limited facilities for repairs etc.

Now I need to get a new notebook and am faced with this q.
I have BIAB 2012.5
The new recommended notebook will have Win 8.1x 64 bit pre-installed.
Am I facing any issues with this new notebook, or will BIAB 2012.5 run with no problems?

I also noted a potential "activation" issue in a running live chat (which I now cannot locate).
