OEM motherboard upgrade?

Lethalcube · Dec 18, 2016

I am going to upgrade my oem motherboard with windows 8.1 on it and I have a question. If I swap motherboards, will I need to buy a copy of windows or just call Microsoft and just ask for a reactivation key?

Technically you need a new licence however MS may let you change motherboard but they are under no obligation to do so.

I have read other posts where they switched and called and MS gave them a new code. So it's a 50-50 chance then ?

I don't know what the odds are of them letting you. It's just clearly in breach of the OEM licence but I know MS can be flexible.
