Totally legal way to activate Windows

[NowNow]

Neglected to include that you can change/upgrade your motherboard/CPU etc and still remain activated, if you have linked your digital licence to a Microsoft account.

I just wonder, why 2 persons are confused and 1 is sad regarding my post below. What is it that is so hard to understand, or is it something facually wrong in my post. Please enlighten me. You know who you are.

As long as the Windows edition(Home, Pro etc), motherboard and CPU remain the same, the activation should remain intact.

Actually, it seems that CPU is not included in the license activation.

My i9-13900KF died a terrible thermal death, as described elsewhere, and had to be returned for replacement. As a temporary replacement, I plugged in a 12gen i5 CPU fully expecting the usual hassle with Microsoft license activation, but Win10 is is still activated. Maybe that's because I'm using MS logon.

 

Can you explain that?

If you wanna activate Windows legally, just grab a legit product key from a trusted seller. Microsoft also has digital licenses if you're upgrading or putting it on a new device.

Oh, and I found a site where you can get a cheap Windows 11 Home key. Might save you some cash
