Oh Boy, I did not think of that Ray,

I am not sure, I wonder what others have done when they upgraded

I’m sure others have swapped out those components so we should get an answer hopefully.

When I had the issue of OEM linked to the motherboard, I called MS Support and they reactivated my license for the new install.

Thanks. I suppose if it’s something done a few years after the first registration they take a relaxed view. If you tried it every few months they’d be less obliging and rightly so.

Interesting. Sounds different to Windows 10. How long ago was that as W7 has been unsupported for a couple of years?

It must have been some 8-9 years ago. After that I upgraded it to Windows 10 for free
