Hello everyone, so I am in a bit of a state of worry. I am upgrading my PC and I just recently got a new Motherboard and CPU for it, I sold my old mobo and CPU, but I made an error. I forgot to erase windows off my old drives, which complicates things just a bit, but I can work with it - fresh install of windows on the SSD and removing the old windows, a reinstall essentially.
This is fine, but my worry stems from how Windows recognizes its license. From my understanding, Windows reads the motherboard to tel whether there is an existing license, and with my old motherboard gone, will I be able to fresh install a new windows with the new motherboard without any licensing issues? For instance, Microsoft not allowing me to install the new windows and removing the old one because it may be seen as fraud? Or something along those lines? If I am just being worrisome and everything will be fine after I install windows on the new SSD, please let me know.
Thank you!
