Can I use oem Windows on a new Cpu and mother board?

[Jackick10]

I have a hp pavilion p6277c-b that I want to upgrade, I have a gtx 1050ti in it and I ran a test on MSI Afterburner and found out that in games my cpu bottle necks my gpu. I would like to upgrade my cpu and mother board but I don't want to buy a new version of windows. Could I use the same windows on a different mother board and cpu?

If you can link the OEM license from HP to your Microsoft acct, then yes.

If Microsoft says no...then you are out of luck.

Could I do this before I upgrade?

You must do that before the upgrade.
Like right now. Tonight.

Right.
That mostly refers to Windows prior to the Win 10 Anniversary release. Post August 2016, and the 1607 release, you can link the OS license to a Microsoft account, rather than to specific hardware.

However...this may not hold true for an OEM license that was preinstalled by HP (or Dell or whoever).

But try it as linked above.
From an Admin account, Settings, Updates and Security, Activation.
See if it allows you to link this particular OEM license to a Microsoft account.

If it does, great.
If it does not...oh well. You tried.

I don't care about holding to the oem license I just want to know if they said yes would it work?

If it links to your Microsoft account, yes it will work.

Try it and see what happens.
