Last January, I bought the $40 upgrade offer of windows 8 pro, I installed it on my computer in April, liked it, and activated it. My Father then bought me a brand new Acer computer for my birthday, but it had an older copy of windows 8. I then used the windows anytime upgrade that you find when you go into control panel>system, and used the key that I bought back in January. I did this because I required the pro version, Activation complained, and I dialed the automated 800 number and got it reactivated, restored my old computer to the windows 7 that came with it. Here is the fun part, I think the motherboard on the Acer is a piece of you know what, because it is giving me trouble with a nvidia gt 640. I still have money left from my birthday, and am considering buying a motherboard that is pcie 3.0 compatible. Now for the 60 billion dollar question, will windows complain if all I did was replace the mobo, and everything else is the same. Or, would I have to re activate windows, the same way I did before?
