If they ask you to reactivate then you have to normally it doesn't.

You should usually change windows only with a motherboard change. Changing CPU does not affect anything. Just be sure to completely remove your AMD drivers and get the latest nVidia drivers when you plug in the 750ti.

Activation is usually painless. Just try to activate online.
If that fails, it should give you a phone number to do it via the phone robot. 5-10 minutes, reading a long string of numbers in, and it reads a long string back.
If that fails, you'll probably have to talk to a human. Again, pretty painless.

+1 with USAFRet, Microsoft after the big time pirates, not the little guy changing a few bits over.
