Activating Windows after significant hardware upgrade
I am about to undertake a significant hardware upgrade:
M'board, CPU, RAM, GPU
Also considering a new M.2 boot drive which may/may not complicate process as I currently have windows installed to my SATA SSD
Question I have is how do I ensure I can still activate and use my copy of W10 after the upgrade?
I did the slmgr -dli method to find that my copy is a RETAIL copy but I bought the machine second hand and do not have a copy of the license key.
I have linked it to my microsoft account I believe but I don't want to touch anything until I know for sure I am not gonna get stuck .
Any advice appreciated
