What's Microsoft's policy on hardware changes regarding OS genuinity?

[Tech_Dreamer]

What's microsofts policy on Windows 10 install cycles under these scenarios & OS has to be installed over & over again from a single genuine source?

 

1. Physical system partition HDD change (New HDD ID/Signature)
2. Mobo change (3 times or more within a year)
3. CPU change (3 time or more in a year)
4. OS shift/New install to new type of storage facility (PCIE/M.2/Express SSD) more than 3-5 cycles of fresh instalation from

 

 

PS: "Genuinity" is not an actual word

PPS:This is not asking weather i could get away with one disc for multiple PC's on home, Just wondering if it bounds to happen all on a single PC with  rapid hardware change as time progress

PPPS:TLDR : what's the limit which microsoft deem OS not being genuine after multiple instalation cycle

whats "generally accepted" is after 5 installs you need to call them to verify

Your OS being flagged as not genuine can happen pretty randomly. Sometimes you can install with the same key over and over and it works fine, sometimes it stops working after for example a CPU change, sometimes after a mobo change etc. When it happens (it will sooner or later if you keep swapping hardware) you will need to call Microsoft and they will fix it for you.

I have a physical copy of Win 7, its lasted me for 6 years and I have installed it on 14 systems perfectly.

If you have a retail version of windows you can change hardware all you want. The only requirement is that you can't have that key active on more than one computer at a time. If you have an OEM licence, your installation is tied to your motherboard.
