  1. Gaming PC upgrade - Windows key question


    I currently have an assembled PC. I am looking to buy a new graphics card (GTX 1080 Ti), processor (Intel i7), motherboard (Z370) and PSU (750W).


    Taking into account I have never changed anything from the original build, will I need a new Windows key once all of the above are replaced?


    I tried to contact Microsoft support but the website is absolutely unintuitive and it is hardly possible to find their contact details (email/phone/chat).


    Hope someone could advise. Thanks.

    :)

    Just try it through Windows update, you shouldn`t have any issues.

    Excellent question Navy, that`s probabaly why. If not then, as suggested, just use the Media Creation Tool and choose upgrade this PC in Step 3.
