Motherboard replaced by system builder.

justaquestion

I had to return my sons computer to the system builder and have got an email that they have changed the motherboard.


it initially came with windows 8.1 which I upgraded to windows 10.


If they swapped motherboard for a similar board, is it less likely that I will have activation problems with windows, as I understand it similar motherboards from builder will have the OEM linked to motherboard activation procedure?


Thanks

it should come back with a fully activated version of win 10 , if it was done under warranty


you can check the legality


this is a fully (legally) updated machine that was running win 8/8.1







this however is a "patched" version of win 10 , with the KPspiko patch hidden in a hidden directory (crafty)













yours should be the first (digital) , unless the guy has paid for a new win 10 licence
