What socklosk is asking about is an issue of hardware bundling: In several countries, Microsoft is legally enabled to permanently bind a copy of Windows to one fixed PC. The question in these countries is: When, after which changes to the configuration, will Microsoft consider the hardware you have there to be a different PC with the consequence that your old software can no longer be used on it?I do not know the answer - luckily I am in a country, where such annoyances are not legally possible.

I would prefer to put the money towards a new MB and processor. All my other components would still be the same.To me the performance gain won't be that much different between my old and new system.Current systemIntel i7 3770k oc to 4.5ghzMsi 280xCrucial 128ssd (w8.1)Samsung 256ssd pro (w10) activatedLots of other hard drives.If I buy a new MB and processor (what ever the latest Intel socket is) would windows 10 still work?Knowing my luck I'll get the MB to work but w10 won't activate.What the most annoying is I bought batman arkham knight Yesterday. It ran great. Turn pc on this am. Noooo.I blame the storm we had last night in the UK.Regards.
