Make sure to reinstall the OS definitely, even without an OEM key, since the motherboard drivers differ for a smoother and more reliable setup. Reinstalling is advised for a clean and stable experience.
The OEM license for Windows 10 is limited to the specific motherboard it was purchased on; it cannot be moved to a different board. Only retail licenses are valid.
I understand what you're suggesting—it hasn't been possible yesterday without any issues. Please visit the support page here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/cont...ctivation/ and provide your product key. Microsoft will assist you, and I can confirm this method worked for me as well. My OEM Windows 7 PC was activated on a different machine with a Windows 10 installation disc.
On the Microsoft site it mentions that your license may be used on a different system after major hardware changes, such as a new motherboard, provided you link it to your Microsoft account starting from the Anniversary update.
