I'm going to migrate from my current to a new one. Wondering if i could keep my windows as it is already pre installed. i dont know where it is installed in this pc, im using an acer xc600. so my question is :

1. Can i reuse my windows 8 if possible?
2. What if i changed my motherboard to a better one? how would i transfer my windows 8 to the new pc?

Solution
Preinstalled Windows 8, no. It is licensed to that original system.
Even if you could, now that Acer is without an OS.

Just buy a new OS for the new machine.
