What is your windows license tied to?

[xYowie]

I heard its tied to your motherboard and then i heard its tied to your main drive, which is true?

Motherboard if you have an OEM copy.

OEM versions of Windows 7 are identical to Full License Retail versions except for the following:

- OEM versions do not offer any free Microsoft direct support from Microsoft support personnel

- OEM licenses are tied to the very first computer you install and activate it on

- OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

- OEM versions cannot be used to directly upgrade from an older Windows operating system
