Windows 10: windows activation after board swap

hello ,


I have not done anything yet but I am about to swap mainboards with my son. the two recently built systems both have windows 10 pro with digital license and are linked to our Microsoft accounts respectively.

my mainboard is an asrock motherboard which I am beginning to hate because of its laggy led software. my sons gigabyte mainboard on the other hand may not be perfect but has a descent led software.

why question is...….if I swap the boards, do we just log in to our Microsoft account and link again?


thanks

:)

 

Activation on new board


Hi All, I have a question on activation. I have two machines, one Asrock and the other Asus. The Asrock was a free upgrade from Win 8 pro to 10 pro using my retail licence and was activated. My Asus was installed with 10 pro via a retail licence.

Now, the Asrock has been decommissioned and I'm waiting for new board to arrive (Asus)I want to use the retail 10 key for the new board but, my other Asus was activated using that key. So I went into the activation screen and changed the licence to my Win 8 Pro key and it activated with no problems.

Does that now mean that the 10 pro key is freed up to use on the new board. Or am I snookered.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I wasn't really asking for new suggestions. Would like input on the boards I listed.
