    CPU and MONO Failed - Still Using W10?


    My motherboard and CPU were friend, so needed replaced. Can I still keep my W10 I had?

    Usually the license is transferrable one way or another.

    How did you acquire your Win 10 license? What evidence do you have?

    In particular, if it's linked to your MS account- if you use one- that should be relatively easy.

    It came with the computer. Not sure about it being linked or not.

    This is how you would have linked your license to your MS account, assuming you use one.
    Link Microsoft Account to Windows 10 Digital License

    This - also from the huge searchable tutorial section- do have a look - is worth reading:
    Use Activation Troubleshooter in Windows 10
    and may help you.

    I have hotmail. Is that considered a Microsoft account?

    There's enough here about MS accounts for you to decide if you have one or not.
    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10

    Further, if you have one, you will be able to sign in here:
