Windows Activation in New Build

Hi folks, I have a silly question for you. In the next week or so I intend to build my very first computer. If I decide to use onboard video for a week or so before I receive my video card, will it cause a problem with activation? I intend to get Windows 7 home premium OEM.
Should I wait until I install the video card before I activate, or will it be okay to use the onboard video for a little while?:wub:

Thanks
 
There should be no problem if you just change the video card. Even if you changed all kinds of stuff, you should still be able to re-Activate online. The VERY worse case would be a five-minute telephoe call, but that's VERY unlikely in your case.

Also, you can wait up to four months to Activate Windows 7 if you wish. Look up "SLMGR /rearm".
