Windows 10 Activation
Hi All
Just recently I replaced the motherboard on my HP Probook 6555b laptop and had a concern that Windows would not activate and to my surprise it did without me having to enter any license key.
Reading various articles about Win 10 activation and adding new hardware I would have assumed that because it was a new motherboard I would have issues with activation, but this wasn't the case.
So it would appear that Win 10 activation is not tied to the motherboard so how was I able to activate without any issue?
Not that I'm complaining as I'm quite surprised that it worked just curious if anybody could through any light on it
Cheers
