So i am about to upgrade my Motherboard and CPU, I heard that when upgrade my code for my windows will expire or not work so i was wondering how i can either reactivate it or see if it is unactivated

Right click My Computer and click properties. Then scroll to the bottom of the screen to see your windows activation.

if it is oem, no, you will need a new copy. if it is a retail, should be able to just activation it again.
