Will windows reject my PC if I add too many parts?

[Lim0n]

Hello! I'm looking at upgrading my PC (hp 500-009c), by moving parts into a new case and buying some new components. I would like to know if I will need to buy a windows copy along with all my other parts (not a lot of spending money, cheaper = better) but I've been told before windows will 'reject' your system if you add too many custom parts, is this true? here's a list of my upgrades (I've got some parts all ready). If I've left anything out please tell me

at most you have to boot into safe mode and remove any conflicting drivers

only if you change the motherboard mainly

 

btw..since you have an hp...it will be some OEM board which might not play well with some retail hardware

if the motherboard is the same, it "should" be fine.

Depends if your Windows 7 is OEM (I think), If it is it will boot but say you need a new product key as this happens with my Windows 10 PC when I change the motherboard, All I do is contact Microsoft for a replacement key

 

EDIT: For FREEEEEEEEEE (yay)

 

EDIT 2: I changed my motherboard 3 times this year lol

basically, no

i stuck an oem hdd into a system with different mobo, processor, processor socket, ram, video card etc

hell, from an i3 to a 9590

and it still worked

even if you do change the motherboard all you have to do is call the number to reassign the key to that "new" computer... takes like 10 min, or at least when I did mine.
