i would like to upgrade my cpu and motherboard to newer versions i have oem version of windows can this be done?

:)

 

OEM Version of MS Xp?

Key word there is upgrade. It's the upgrade version. OEM doesn't require the earlier OS.

 

Upgrading Motherboard and CPU

I bought a default Lenovo K450 a few years back that came with Windows 8 preinstalled. Well over the past few months I've upgraded the PSU, GPU, and moved too an SSD without much of a hassle since I was using the same motherboard and CPU. Well, I'm moving
too a whole new upgrade and changing the case, motherboard, CPU, and adding a network card. My question is, once I've changed out all of the parts, will I need to reinstall Windows 8, or can I just install Windows 10 again like normal and follow the steps
with customer support to establish the legitimacy of my previous Windows OS? I have the OEM and Product Key.

 

Retail version or OEM version

Hi Friends,

I am thinking of building a new PC on my own. I am a home user only. I will buy all the hardware from a local shop ie motherboard, cpu, ram, hdd etc and then I would like to install a genuine/legal version of Windows 10 Pro 64 bit on it. But should I buy OEM version or retail version? What if any hardware (motherboard, cpu, ram, hdd etc.) stops functioning after I install, activate/register and update Windows? Thanks.
