I am currently using a PC I built on a budget with an AMD FX 6300 CPU and an ASRock 960GM/U3S3 Motherboard with my Windows 7 OEM. I am now looking to upgrade to either an i5 or an i7 CPU, meaning I will need a new motherboard, which then means I will need a new copy of Windows.
I am seeing some copies of both Windows 7 and Windows 10 on Amazon for cheaper than others, and they say "Intended for use with refurbished PCs". I'm not really clear on what this means. Since Windows considers a new motherboard to be a new PC altogether, does this mean a copy of Windows intended for refurbished PCs would not work for my needs? Or does "intended for use with refurbished PCs" mean it's exactly meant for my situation where I just need a new copy of Windows for a PC I'm upgrading.
Thanks for any help! If you need any more info just ask.
