I want to buy a GeForce GT 750m, the question is will this make me have to buy windows again?(My windows 7 is preinstalled) I Googled and many said that WGA will force you to get new windows if you upgrade your hardware / change
 
Solution
Okay first thing, you do not want a 750M (the "M" signifying it is for mobile, like laptops). I'll suggest looking at the GTX 750 Ti as a viable upgrade option instead. You will not need to do anything with your OS, graphics changes do not affect it (only changing the motherboard requires a new OS)
