Exactly. I used the same OEM copy of XP on three different motherboards over 8 years. On those, I changed video cards, hard drives, optical drives, RAM, CPUs, you name it. I never had a single problem with online activation.

OEM Win Cloned SSD?
I assume you can run OEM Win OS on a Mac, using something like Parallels or VMWare Fusion?
If yes, then you later upgrade only the HDD to SSD, by *cloning* the HDD to the SSD (using Acronis, etc), will there be any issues with the OEM OS or partition?
Or will it just work fine as a cloned SSD (with same mobo and machine)?
Based on most of the posts, it seems this would be ok. But just double checking.
