    Hardware change after 29th July


    Hi all

    I wonder what will happen if a major component like a motherboard is changed after 29th July, will Microsoft accept it or will we have to buy a key. Many people have got away with hardware changes on OEM licenses in the past with earlier versions of Windows.

    Nice thing that @Brink pumps those tutorials out after major or important changes to Windows 10
