I am looking to upgrade my current PC setup by installing a new motherboard and CPU
-If it might help, here is the current PC build
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9v7p6h
-and here is the parts i would be upgrading with (Minus the GPU)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8qdzpb
What I am wondering is if it is possible for me to make those changes, and not have to purchase another copy of windows. My Windows 10 is not OEM, and came on a flash drive that I purchased from BestBuy, and I installed it onto an SSD. I had just recently talked with someone at GeekSquad from BestBuy and they told me that the Product ID code from my computers properties page is the Key that i would put in to reinstall windows after i upgrade the parts. Im just wondering if they were correct about that, and how exactly i would go about the installation. Would it be the same as the first time i installed Windows from the BIOS? Or will something be different? If any other information is needed to try to aid me with this please just ask and i will do my best to get that information to you.
Thanks in advance,
