Windows 7 OEM + New Motherboard Issue(help needed)
Hey guys,
So my computer is HP Pavilion p6-2220t and I plan to swap out my motherboard for a better CPU upgrade. Now I have a pretty big issue with making this move and that's whether or not when I make this switch will my OEM Windows 7 still be active on this new motherboard by ASUS(H61 chipset/same as current mobo) so after I make this switch can anyone let me know what will happen if I just replug everything in with the new mobo+cpu will Windows 7 boot up but as if it's in some bootlegged version? Could I call Microsoft to ask for a replacement key.
This is not just an upgrade my audio chip on the mobo seems to have fried & tends to have some very odd issues not caused by instability in anything else (I checked).
Any help is greatly appreciated :) !
