Okay so I just got all my new hardware in my pc.
I disconnected all drives besides my Windows drive that I was about to re-install windows on.
Im just unsure if I absolutely should seeing as my license for Windows was a OEM key.
Thing is, Windows did not deactivate on my pc even with the new mobo.
Is there any tests I can run to see if NOT fresh installing Windows will cause any issues? Or is this because my license is connected to my Microsoft account? (that I didnt have to log back into upon starting the PC)
Or should I just suck it up, fresh install, and buy a new key..?
Thanks ahead of time!
