I asked this question over at another hardware site recently, not to mention googled it - will an already used OEM copy of Windows 7 work with a new motherboard? The person on the hardware site forum said it would, the results on Google were mixed. So I'm here asking on a 2nd opinion. If you look at my System Specs, you'll see I'm running an FX 6100 and Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 mobo at the moment, and that I'm going to be moving to an Intel i5 4690K and Gigabyte GA-G1.Sniper Z5S mobo soon. Obviously, my OEM copy of Windows 7 has already been "linked" to my current mobo - and I have a question about that later - and according to Microsoft, all other components of the PC can be replaced and still use OEM Windows 7 EXCEPT the motherboard, which they consider a "new PC" if it's swapped out. So, my question is, do I really have to buy another copy of Windows 7 if I replace my motherboard? :confused:

Also, I'm probably going to be selling my current mobo once I get the new one. Do I have to do anything before selling it?

Thanks guys :)

It's tied to the Hardware ID. It used to be that different components were "worth" a different amount, and when you reached a set amount it counted as a "new" system (the NIC was worth tons for some reason), not sure how it works now.

So the license says that yes, you will need a new key. People will tell you you can activate it anyway though, with or without phone activation. You might have to talk to a real person and tell some half truths (they shouldn't help you in any case if they are doing they jobs IMO).

As far as the license and motherboard... no, you don't have to do any thing special to sell it... just sell it.

I will say, what you stated, as the official response from MS, about parts replacement and the OEM being tied to the Motherboard is correct... Now, the however...

I myself have replaced a motherboard with a different brand and called the MS telephone number the registration gives and a tech (CS rep) did assist me in getting it activated for the new one.
I explained to them that the board died and I replaced it, is all. He was fine with it.
Now, you mileage may vary.

If the motherboards are similar it should work. Swapped a P8 H77-V LE, for a Z68X-UD3-B3, both are socket 1155, didn't reisntall windows, all works perfect. I did this with old 775 boards to (H31 to P35) no reinstall required. The trick is having motherboards with similar chipsets. It won't work in your case because both the motherboards and CPUs are way different IMO. Call MS.

Pretty much this. The policy is pretty strict that you need to buy a new copy of Windows if the motherboard changed but everytime I called in and explained to them that the old hardware it was installed on is no longer in use/functional and it is only being used on this computer I'm registering it on now, they had no problem activating it. The main thing they are looking for is that the same key isn't being used on two computers. When asked if it is and you honestly can't answer "no," you need to buy another key.

The activation wizard will tell you the number you need to call if you need to call.

Not sure if they will still do that, but it's worth a try.

+1

Microsoft doesn't seem to enforce this policy on end users thought. I've re-activated my fair share of OEM licences without (much) trouble.

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
My Logic chain usually goes like this since IMO they are using the motherboard to identify a computer not LOCKING the key to that motherboard.

So

System is activated with windows. Upgrade time replacing mobo.

Is Motherboard being repurposed?

YES --> NO --> Reuse the license key on your new motherboard
|
V
Am I using it with this license key?

YES --> NO -- Reuse the original license key with new system motherboard.

Buy another copy of windows

So, personal experience here. I purchased a Retail copy of Windows 7, knowing that I'd be running through a couple of motherboards. Their policy there is that it can only be installed on one system, but it is not hardware bound.... but that's crap.

When I tried to reinstall Windows and activate the clean install the automatic system rejected my key. Got tech support via chat, and they basically started their schtick with "An OEM copy of the windows operating system is bound to one motherboard.." After explaining it to them, I was still forced to call into their re-activation line to properly reactivate a retail copy on my new motherboard.

All of this, and I paid the extra for a retail key.


As far as OEM, best of luck. Explain that the hardware is DOA, and you are getting a replacement board and CPU. Some of the tech service people will buy that, some will not. If they insist on the policy, hang up and dial again. 2 or 3 shots is all it should take to get someone who is sympathetic, and will authorize the OS for you.

As far as 100% to the letter of the EULA, this isn't acceptable. The spirit of the EULA is to have one copy of the OS for every motherboard. At the same time, I'm not feeling so distraught about it after discovering that the Windows 10 beta testers agree to having a keylogger and have each of their drives fully scanned for the "opportunity" to experience the OS for a few months.

And at least here that call is free, and these days you get a text with the numbers you have to enter so it's super easy. It activated, and you didn't have to talk to tech support, so I consider it a success. Online activation is a hit or miss after the first time, but the phone activation always works.

Agreed to all advice given. I did not have to talk to a live person to reuse an OEM copy. I had to respond to their series of numbers, and then respond with the counter numbers. It will also ask you how many times it has been installed. Well, I thought, "I just installed it the second time, so I will put in 2." Yeah, that's the WRONG answer. Apparently it means you have just installed the third time. Hd to call back and go through the 457 numbers again. So, if you can truthfully say it was only installed once, prior to the current machine you areinstalling on, answer with 1 (the previous computer), since that's what they want to know.

I also have twice had to contact MS with a Retail copy because I had "exceeded the number of installs." Well, that's news to me, because a retail is good for 365 intalls a year if I want to install every day. Who knows what that super-secret number is that MS limits a retail copy to...or even WHY?! Same series of numbers and counter numbers followed, but no question as to how many installs.

As a side note, I nearly went blind reading the EULA for W8, but as I understand it, an OEM copy of W8 CAN be reused....the text reads something to the effect that it can only be installed on one computer at a time, and can be reused if it is not sold with old equipment or if the old equipment breaks. This seems to be a loosening of their totalitarian ways which didn't account for electrical parts malfunctioning.
