It seems you should still manage to move the key, though you’ll have to contact Microsoft. Apparently, this process is likely to take a significant amount of time.
It depends on how you're swapping the motherboard. If you're replacing the entire board, yes—it might affect things. If you're just swapping one component, check compatibility first.
You can proceed after switching, just contact Microsoft to transfer the license. This might be worth checking out: https://www.mydigitallife.net/difference...duct-keys/ OEM:NONSLP (Non System Locked Pre-installation) is like a retail product key but comes from an OEM. A non-SLP product key isn't tied to a specific brand. Users must activate it via phone or online. Since it isn't system-locked at installation, it should work fine—try it first. If problems arise, reaching out to MS support can resolve them.
It doesn't alter anything. As @RadiatingLight mentions, stores offer both options. OEM models come with new hardware, typically when you purchase the drive, motherboard, CPU, and RAM together. However, some units, like the one I own, aren't very focused on this. I'm using Win7 OEM on a third-generation motherboard after buying it.
