Hey there, im pretty close to having all the components for my new system so ill start the build soon, only issue I have is Ive heard even though I currently have windows 7 and its an official copy got the keys etc that the copy you have is tied to the motherboard so for my new machine I will basically have to buy a new copy of windows which seems stupid to me.
However Ive also heard if you phone microsoft you can sometimes get the license key transferred over, is this the case and has anyone got any info on this? id rather not shell out another 120 quid when im already running the os on my old system and have all the discs and licence already.
