    I'm going to be possibly upgrading my processor from a 3200g to a 5700g and my motherboard over the next year quite possibly next summer.Would I still be able to use the previous Windows 10 Home key I purchased with the new system? Or would I have to purchase a new one?

    Hi,



    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    • CPU
    • TPM
    • Motherboard replacement
    The following changes are examples of hardware changes that will NOT impact the activation status:

    • HDD/SSD
    • Video card
    • Adding extra memory

  3. Choice of memory and motherboard... a bit stuck...

    No one who got some suggestions on this one, huh?

    I've found out that the Asus M3A78-T needs to be flashed, so then that motherboard is excluded from my list. Which motherboard and memory should I then go for? Any suggestions?
