Hardware: The Intel Label Replacement

After updating my Minecraft server from an i3 processor to an i7 processor, I was thinking about also updating the sticker, to better reflect the actual processor that now was installed. 

I had learned about the Intel Processor Label Replacement program that Intel has. Basically you provide proof of ownership and then they send you a sticker in the mail. This is my experience with the request.

This is the link to the page where you make the request, it requires that you create an account. This is also where I registered, and from there I also got instructions on how to document my processor. It required me to download a software that displays certain data about the installed processor and then screenshotting the result.

Because both my processor and computer was purchased on the second hand market online, there was no formal proof of purchase. So a screenshot of the results from the analysis was good enough.

After I had sent it in it took around 6-8 weeks for the sticker to arrive, the package contained a simple letter with information thanking me for my request, and a small bag with the sticker. 

No instructions included, in my case it was easy to peel of the old sticker and apply the new one.

Enjoy!
