Microsoft planned this perfectly.

you can install new components

From what i've been reading it's not possible to do motherboard upgrades on the free license as it's tied only to the motherboard you upgraded on to start with.

Really? I had a friend who built a pc from scratch, and he's using his original hard drive that was upgraded from 8.1

is it software specific?

Oh they're good.

but... joke is on them, I use linux.

Right now you can change hardware and keep your free Win 10 by entering the Win 7/8/8.1 key.

After the free promotion ends at the end of this summer this is no longer valid, that's the problem.

oh OH

>>Free upgraded licenses won't allow you to install a new motherboard/cpu
this is true of OEM windows
not retail windows

if you bought windows 7/8/8.1 and upgraded to 10, you have retail windows 10
if you bought a laptop and it came with 7/8/8.1 preinstalled, you have OEM

there are tools online that can check the key to verify which you have, if you weren't the original upgrader.

Nah, I changed everything but the hard drive and it still worked

Plus you can just call up support and Pajeet will hook you up with a new code

And what's stopping people from disabling the activation like in every other windows version?
>>
>>54589452
Its possible. I read and article where the author called tech support after changing his cpu and they reactivated his windows.

Or just slui 4 and reactivate via phone. So yes, you can totally change your hardware, and still be able to use your "free" license.

This.

I've had an OEM Windows from the pre-SP1 XP days, ported over 4 machines and upgraded through win7. every time the key doesn't work automatically, calling pajeet fixes it.
>>
>>54589452
I've been reading up on this and it applies to W7 as well. If you bought an OEM copy of Windows, you're stuck with that motherboard or you're buying a new license.

>>54589965
changed cpu
we talk about motherboard
wut
>>
>>54590033
upgrading motherboard kinda implies upgrading CPU, no?

at least until we have socket-level pin adapters
>>
>>54590086
If your motherboard is the same socket you could use the same CPU
>>
>>54590086
well It does not,I can change my cpu 100times/day does not mean that I changed whole motherboard

nvm we are on same page now
so u say he changed cpu AND motherboard.
