You may replace the motherboard with an OEM if you built your own computer. This is feasible over a long period, and anyone who still refers to this topic should consult the latest articles on the Microsoft website. The Windows 7 era is no longer relevant. I’m not sure how it functions in other countries, but in Poland you can purchase OEM parts yourself without buying a new machine from certified resellers and official Microsoft confirmation (confirmed by phone). They say that if you assembled your own system, you’re the manufacturer, so you’re allowed to use an OEM version. When you connect your account to a Microsoft account, it links to your profile, not to the motherboard. So anyone helping others should read: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...are-change. It explains exactly what steps to take after hardware changes and why Windows may become unactivated post-motherboard swap. This isn’t a scam site with tricks—it’s the official Microsoft site. I have an OEM key and changed my motherboard (from i5 3rd gen to i7 8th gen). Everything works fine, the system is activated, and I didn’t need to use the troubleshooter as recommended by Microsoft.
Perhaps I'm not aware, but I wasn't informed that Poland is an English-speaking nation.
That's quite intriguing. I'm not entirely sure what you meant by Poland being an English-speaking country, and how speaking language affects our discussion about Windows types. Regarding your question, I see you mentioned licensing in your post.
That's a clever observation! It seems like you're assuming I'm from Poland since your writing style matches what you'd expect from Polish English.
