License Transfer Windows 8.1

Monokom99 · July 18, 2014

I'm going to be building a new computer soon and I'm salvaging my old HDD's, Ram, GPU and all my Watercooling things from my old build. Im going to install my Windows 8.1 OEM on my new SSD(Samsumg 840 EVO) i purchased and i was wondering if i would have to do a license transfer for my old Mobo and CPU? The new parts im getting consist of: the ASUS Sabertooth x97 Mark 1, Intel Core I5 4670k. Would i have to do a license transfer? and if so how would i do that? NEED HELP!!!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!

Nah, when you enter your product key it will take 3 days or so to reactivate and then it will deactivate your old hdd etc transfering your license from old to new. ive done it many times, never had a problem.
