why has genuine oem product key deactivated after i3 to i7 upgrade

priestfan · Sep 17, 2014

OEM product key on HP pc case sticker (hpe-470uk) is no longer valid after upgrading processor from i3 to i7.
Operating system has gone from genuine & activated to requires activation (with only 3 days grace)

As long as you have kept your motherboard this shouldn't be an issue, just ring microsoft and they will give you the activation code.

Didn't have a number to ring them.
Created a microsoft account to ask an agent & they did it remotely
SORTED!

Thanks for responding
