So I got a new computer and installed windows 10 pro oem from kinguin on my ssd. But my HDD is acting really strange. If my HDD dies or I decide to replace it, will windows allow me to do that? It'd suck if it didn't let me but just wondering

 

Only thing that might give you trouble is if it's an OEM key and you go to replace CPU/Motherboard, then you may have to purchase a new license.

Only motherboard though. Changing CPU on same mobo is same as changing GPU or adding RAM.
