Hi JeremyJordan23-

I'm Kevin B. Windows user like you. I do apologize for the inconvenience, let me help you sort things out.

Activation depends on what type of license you have:

If it came preinstalled with the computer, that is called an OEM version. For an OEM license, the license remove as soon as Motherboard is not working. So basically,it is non-transferable. If that is the case you need to get a new license.

If its the free upgrade from a retail store,it is transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

If its the free upgrade from a OEM preinstalled Windows license, it is NOT transferable to a new computer or motherboard.

However, this is not same for retail licenses.

Example: You purchased the license through Microsoft store. That does carry transfer rights.

Did you get your license pre installed or you purchased it separately?

Have a blessed day!

Thanks,

Kevin B.
