Im upgrading my CPU and Motherboard.

 

Do I need to buy a new Windows key as the Motherboard will no longer be registered to my key.

 

Or is there a way to use the key again?

You can only reuse the key if it is not OEM. Otherwise you will have to buy a new version!

Just install it.  Its not registered like people think it is.  Follow the guide in my signature.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
