Windows 8 on new Motherboard?

[Rogurzz]

I am changing my Lenovo OEM Motherboard to a different one. Can i re install Windows 8 or do I have to buy a new copy?

You HAVE to buy a new copy and REINSTALL with the new license. OEM systems are ONLY sold with Windows that is for THAT hardware, and will not work with any other hardware (reason you get the discount price on the system then paying for a full copy of Windows every time you buy a computer).

Dunno that exact copy will (is it just the disk?). I normally either go to www.windows.com itself and follow Microsoft's steps OR look on www.pcpartpicker.com for the copy I need.
