hardware crash - windows 10 install - activation question
What happens post July 29th 2016 if my hard drive (or MoBo) crashes (as it just did) & i must use a new hard drive or MoBo: if mobo, will windows 10 ask for an activation code since there is new hardware installed? If yes, what will I use?
If a new hard-drive is required & I did not make a disk image copy - will I have to go back to my Window 7 disk to install W7 & keep W7? Is there way to reinstall W10 (free upgrade) post July 29th 2016 with an activation code for W10?
If new mobo is installed will W10 ask for an activation code? If yes, what will i use? Or even If i complete an image copy restore - after new hardware install will W10 ask for an activation code?
Thank you
