    OEM Windows 10 Home - changing motherboard to satisfy Windows 11 requirements


    I built my own computer, and I purchased a copy of Windows 10 Home, which I see says OEM on it.Now I need to change my motherboard and cpu to satisfy the requirements for the Windows 11 upgrade. I am keeping the rest of the build as is.Can I transfer my license to the new motherboard? If so, how?If I swap the motherboard out, does Windows just stop working?Thank you!

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
