  1. Getting New Motherboard and Need to Reinstall


    Hello, I'm getting getting a new motherboard in a couple weeks, to replace the one that I've had and used in my computer for the past 5 years. Curently though, I'm running the free upgrade of windows 10 that was offered to me from my Windows 8., that was installed at the time. Now, the only physical OS software CD that I have in my possession, is my original, purchased Windows 8 pro that later on was updated to 8.1 then eventually to my current window 10 that was provided to everyone for free.

    After I install my new motherboard what steps must I take to once again get windows 10 back on my computer? I know trying to put a windows OS that is registered to another mobo will give me verification issues when trying to bind and register it to a new motherboard. I dont want to have to buy a new OS when it's the same computer it's going on but just with a new mobo. How do I transfer my original window 8 pro disk to my new mobo and then work my way back up the free install of windows 10 that I had? Thanks in advance for help on this.

    :)

  2. Reactivating Windows 10 with new motherboard

    Plugging it into the new motherboard should be enough, but create a recovery drive in case you need to perform a startup repair:


    The fact that you don't have a license key concerns me. If Windows 10 came preinstalled on your computer, you can't transfer it to a new computer or motherboard. You will need to purchase an entirely new license.

    Learn more about transferring licenses:

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Getting New Motherboard and Need to Reinstall :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
