I'm preparing to assemble my Brother's PC and am considering skipping a video card for now, relying on Intel HD graphics until a card arrives. Could installing a new card later affect the W10 "free trial" if I switch hardware after the OS is set up? If anyone has an interest, here are the parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Anzules/saved/CVnxFT

Only swapping the motherboard and possibly the processor might lead to problems with the CD key.

Avoid altering the card first; execute DDU instead.

When switching brands, start by removing drivers. For the same brand, there should be no problems.
