your going to have to get a new install otherwise it will BSOD on boot up

if you don't have OEM windows you can change mobo/etc w/out needing a new copy of the OS

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Well i got the motherboard, RAM, and CPU with a Asus PC with the OS installed, so there might be a possibility that I have OEM windows, though I not sure. Is there a way to check this?

Does PC have COA sticker attached? It should say whether license is OEM or not. It most likely is OEM which would mean that you need to buy new key.
