More Information

I have an old AMD computer that I want to re-do for my granddaughter. I plan to replace the motherboard with an Intel CPU. I have had Windows checked, verified, or whatever while on the internet. I will retain the old hard drive with Windows XP on it. After I change everything and get back on the net, will Microsoft still know that I have a valid OS. Appreciate a little pat on the back and words like, everything will be just great. Thanks
