    Hello!


    Ok, most important thing here is Motherboard or CPU.

    So, I plan to upgrade this 3 components. I heard, that, if you upgrade motherboard, you lose Windows 10. But, don't get me wrong.

    I mean PREINSTALLED Windows 10 Home in PREMADE PC. So, I didn't buy Windows 10 Home by my self, it was already installed.

    If I write that command in CMD: wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey, I can see XXXXX-XXXXX (25 X-s) key.


    So, will I need to buy new Windows 10 Home. Please, if you need to ask me something more, please, ask! Thanks for your help!

    PS.: I contacted 50 times MS Support and I've got 50 diffrent answers.

  3. Upgrading CPU and Motherboard but with SSD with the free windows 10 upgrade from window 8.1

    I want to upgrade my CPU and Motherboard but i scared that if i do that i will have to buy a new copy of Windows 10 and i am upgrading important hardware. My current PC has the free upgraded Windows 10 Pro from my Window 8.1 Pro. So its on my SSD but if
    i use the same SSD with a new CPU and Motherboard, can i not just re-activate or does the free upgrade not carry over?

    Can someone please help and tell me if i will have to buy a new copy or if it will still work with new hardware.

    Windows 10 & Motherboard/CPU

    I am thinking of upgrading my motherboard and CPU but i don't know if I'm going to have to buy and install a new copy of windows. I have a windows 10 home product key that I used on this PC. Windows 10 is pretty expensive so i might not go through with
    the upgrade if I do have to.
