Has anybody upgraded their motherboard and continued using their Windows 10 OEM key?

I want to move from 8.1 to 10 but I'm also planning on moving from my FX-8350 to either Ryzen or Intel eventually.

Call Microsoft. You don't even get a person on the line - just a computer voice guiding you through transferring your license to a different "system".

I've successfully moved my OEM Windows 7 license from a random laptop to my desktop this way.

do you live in the EU? then the worst that can happen is activation via telephone because you have the right to move your software.

US

Everything I've read so far indicates that MS won't allow you to transfer if it's an OEM key.

just use an activator, saves so much time

Any problems with Windows updates etc using something like kmspico on 10?

Just install 7 Professional with daz loader and then upgrade it with the accessibility upgrade. Clean install again and you will have legit 10 Pro.

can I not do that from my current 8.1 installation?
>>
>>59997326
Yeah as long as 8.1 is activated.

There is no check that you actually use assistive technologies so it works for everything.

my brother bought his laptop 5 years ago which had an oem key for windows 7. then upgraded last year to windows 10.

he changed laptops, new one came without an os.
I took out the ssd from his old one, put it into new one.
Windows asked for the key, I entered the key from old laptop and it was accepted.

>OEM = you won't get support from Microsoft, but from your system builder
>if you are willing to support yourself, you can just use your OEM key
>At least as long as you don't use a Microsoft Live Account for logging into you PC

Alternative: Buy yourself a new OEM key. You can get Professional for about 20 bucks
