[Franklin_4]

If i get a new MoBo, CPU, and GPU but i save my HDD and PSU, is there anyway i can keep or transfer my windows 10 ownership?

Nope when you change the motherboard everything changes the drivers and all stuffs even your old windows wont work so you have to install the new clean windows

yes, it is possible but it's little bit tricky.

because windows license is tied to the motherboard. windows activation server creates an unique ID for your motherboard that different with your new motherboard and can't be transferred but can be restored using MS account.

activation restore process will be easier if you're completely wiping your windows, making minor hardware changes, or replacing the HDD with same motherboard, you can restore the activation status easily using your MS account.

Read and do this before you change any parts:

That (probably) covers the licensing and activation.

You'll probably still need to do a full wipe and reinstall of everything.
