    Replacing System Board


    I built my own PC and now I need to replace the System Board. I installed Windows 8 OEM on the original PC and have since upgraded to Windows 10 through the free upgrade program. I need to know what steps to take in reactivating Windows 10 upgrade. Do I have to buy Windows again? I've read that the OEM can't be transferred to a new System Board as it can only be activated once, but the Full Version of Windows can be reactivated up to three times.

    :)

    Replacing System Board

    Gigabyte to implement replacement or refund program for Intel 6 series motherboards

    Problem is there just aren't any backup boards as all chipsets are B2 stepping, and B3 stepping won't be available until maybe late April, so there's no point in getting defective replacement boards *Frown Replacing System Board :( your last suggestion sounds reasonable enough to me though *Smile Replacing System Board :)
