Im wondering if I could move my OEM windows hhd to a new mobo then flash the latest update but edit the update file to make the hdd think the motherboard is a different model, letting me into my OEM mobo locked windows.

Anything is possible, but whether you have the chops to pull it off is another story entirely. I'd say in general this is highly unlikely to work

Unlikely. When there's a hardware change usually you have to call Microsoft and tell them that you had to replace it due to failure.

That's why OEM Windows isn't always the best one to get.
