test of mobo - will this ruin my win10 activation?
Hello!
My story is this. I had a Gigabyte-mobo that "died" some time ago, and as it was only 2 month old, I send it to RMA. In the meantime Microsoft was giving Windows 10 away, so I did not want to wait weeks before I could join Windows 10. I therefore got me another mobo (this time an ASUS). I installed my Windows 8.1 Pro, upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, it is activated and running well.
Now I have got the Gigabyte-mobo back from RMA. What will happen to my activated Windows 10, if I put my CPU, RAM aso., on this mobo to test if it is working? Well, it might not activate, but after failing this, how about when I reinsert the ASUS-mobo? Will it then activate again?
How do I test this Gigabyte-mobo? I really don't trust them, as they say they have "repared" the mobo. What to repair on a mobo?? Change the battery? So before putting it on sale, I want to be sure it is in good condition as they told me.
