What will happen to my windows installation if I change the motherboard & CPU, will i lose my product key information.
This is an OEM setup. I do not have a hard copy of the Product Key, as it was pre-installed when bought.
Issue that occurred:
It asked to do a BIOS update, BIOS update was done after install PC would not show any video.
I have gone through all the steps of testing all components. It has come down to the Motherboard & CPU.
So again just wondering what would happen with the Windows Key if I was to change the motherboard and CPU?
