Board index » Windows Vista » Upgrading motherboard and CPU

Windows Vista33
I have been using Vista Ultimate on my 2 year old self built computer for six

months. I would like to upgrade my motherboard, CPU, and RAM. Can I do so

without purchasing a new license?


-

yes, should not be a problem.

Provided you purchased retail and not a generic OEM copy, yes.

Sure.



You might have to activate again, but tht's no big deal. I just did this

very thing with an XP machine I have.

Yes. If the original install worked on your 'self built' machine, it will

work again on the second 'self built' system. If it has Not been 4 months

since the last 'authentication' you will need the 'phone in' option

available from the authentication dialog.

Yes, no problems there.You may have to Activate by Phone, though, rather

than having to use the online activation.
