What is my "Computer" - Licensing

paps511 · February 14, 2016

So I have a genuine windows 10 license which is tied to "my computer" so I can clean install it as long as it is on "my computer"

What is "my computer"? Is it specificly the MoBo and CPU?

Basically how much can I upgrade before the license does not come with it?

Obviously GPU, RAM, and SSDs are okay, but where does it tie to?

Your windows code thing is TIED to YOUR mobo, no where else, this means if you go boot up from windows media creation tool, you do NOT need to enter the code for activation as it will already have it on your MOBO.

Whenever you change your mobo you need a new activation code

Anything else is fine

(lel imagine if it was the ssd's lelelelelel, oh i need more storage *adds ssd* windows be like "OI BITCH WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU ARE ADDIN DEM SSDS WITHOUT A NEW CODE BiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH" AND YOU BE LIKE "DAYUM SON CALM THE FUCK DOWN

If you only changed CPU then your fine, windows should not be affected but if it is call customer support, they will fix it for you. If you have OEM though then your on your own, but if you have a retail copy of windows then just call the support tell them that you changed your cpu and your fine.
