Upgrading old computer

CharlieR1 · August 27, 2015

Hey guys!

I've had some issues before with upgrading old PCs and windows licences. They will say that they aren't genuine once I upgrade, and can't really fix it.I wanna make sure that this doesn't happen this time.

I will be upgrading the CPU, Mobo, RAM, and GPU. Is there any way to prevent it from happening?

If parts are necessary, I will list them.

Thanks!

Use ProduKey: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html to find out your product key (If you don't know it already) , write that down, create a bootable Windows 7/8/10 USB drive. When you reinstall Windows put in that code when it asks for an activation code.

Cool. That's what I initially planned on doing.
