    Reinstall with new Motherboard? Win10


    I've purchased all the components for my new PC..and it includes a completely new chipset on the motherboard (1151). I recently purchased a windows 10 key from here (Windows 10 Home 32-bit/64-bit English International: Amazon.co.uk: Software). The USB flash drive Home version.

    I've read around that with windows 10, if you upgrade your motherboard then you need to purchase a new key. I was planning on reinstalling it anyway.

    Just wanted to ask if anybody knows if this is a retail version or an OEM?

    For my new PC, I have upgraded everything apart from my SSD and HDD's

    Thanks

    Run Showkey plus from this forum and it will tell you if your product key is retail or OEM:
