I am going to try using an old hard drive with WIN 10 on it with a new motherboard-the exact same motherboard as previous.
Okay.
That's fine. It's the same hardware, so you won't have any issues.I am going to try using an old hard drive with WIN 10 on it with a new motherboard-the exact same motherboard as previous.
I think it depends on two factors.I thought W10 just tied the license to your MS account?
After using the copy of WIN 10 for a bit, it told me I hadn't activated. I went to Microsoft and found an agent in India who set me straight after a few hours by giving me a new product key. In chatting with him, I still felt as though I was doing something illegal. Surprised that Microsoft would give me a new product key. I had upgraded from WIN 8.1.
