If I put a new motherboard and Cpu in my computer it will affect the license of vista 64

I thought to upgrade my computer with a new motherboard and processor will this affect my license of vista, I guess I'll have to reinstall after I change them.

OEM is OEM

"If Vista is preinstalled on your computer, or you purchased an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

you are the System Builder

The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop.

This is why the OEM license you bought was cheaper than a retail sales license

and Microsoft normally class the motherboard as the heart of the machine.

you need to reinstall vista as the existing hard drive installed vista installed the old motherboard drivers

You can try the tips I gave you in the 1st answer, if you have problems

Good luck

  • New motherboard and CPU... Running slow

    The back story:

    First let me preface this by saying: "I don't know much about computers.  OK, with that of the road, I have a Presario SR1703WM under XP. I added two gigs of memory a couple of years and it was running fine for what I needed.

    About a year or two back... It got to where I could not close without waiting a long time to get it to even start upward. I was told that the phones went wrong. Anyway... the food has recently taken a dive.  I replaced it, but the computer had apparently had inhaled, it is the last and sang with the choir invisible.

    I decided to fix it myself and in the process, destroyed the CPU... He looked like a little in the wake of a 747 crashing in a field of culture.

    A friend IT just happened to have a new motherboard and CPU which it replaces for me (God have mercy on its processor)

    The Situation as it is:

    The computer came back from the dead, but he is running a bit slow sometimes.  It is not constant. It seems to happen on Yahoo mail and when I watch Youtube videos or when there is a site with a kind of animation advertisemens.  Yahoo email who has a little.  PC Doctor 5 for windows came with the original computer, but now she says that she is not allowed now... not really a problem, but running a dignostic there will not happen. Compaq diagnostics is not upward in case of problem either. The slowness is erratic, even in the same session.  It can correct itself and return to normal. It seems to happen when I have more than one high screen... like if I can access Yahoo email on one screen and I do appear Facebook on another at the same time.

    Memory is adequate

    Controls for Device Manager shows all my drivers are up to date.

    The new motherboard is an Elitegroup P4M800PRO-M he came with an instellation CD

    The new processor is an Intel Pentium 4.  (He had an AMD Sempron before hand).

    Please be patient with me and use it as simple as possible when replying with advice... I do not understand a lot of technical terms... but I'm learning.

    After hours of slope on this problem... It seems that the culprits were Yahoo toolbar and Adobe Flash 9.  At least it works a lot better now. We'll see if it continues to do so.  Thanks to everyone who took the time to help.  I appreciate it.  Kudos to you all.

  • After the new motherboard and processor installation Windows requires key, key to the sticker will not validate.

    I installed a new motherboard and processor to my PC and now it's me demanding in the news two days to activate windows. I type the product key that is located on the sticker and it refuses to validate. Assistance is needed.

    The key on the sticker code is assigned to the brand of the computer to which it is applied. Regardless of the brand, changed the m/b and the CPU (unless provided by the original manufacturer is a NEW computer.)

    Is there a way to pull this off with on the reinstallation of the operating system?  This post http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2007/09/how-to-install-a-new-motherboard-without-reinstalling-windows.ars looks promising, but not specifically for Vista.

    I don't have a Vista DVD that I bought the upgrade online. I have it on a spare SATA drive and can't burn on a DVD because for some reason any damned, it is slightly larger then what fits on a 8.4 GB DVD. I have a disc XP full version. The current installation is a clean vista who, for now, I forget exactly how I managed, but I remember that you can do a full install with upgrade to vista as long you have your original cd of XP handy.

    Hello Sqrly,

    All you can do is try. It's 50-50 if you try to fix the MBR (master boot record). If this does not work and clean install will be your only option. If I were you, I would like to do a clean install. You can download this ISO (Vista) link:http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ but the use of this software to burn your ISO. Link: http://download.cnet.com/Active-ISO-Burner/3000-2646_4-10602452.html?tag=mncol, let us know if this allows you to get your drive. Follow the instructions. Try to repair your windows MBR with this disc. If it isn't you may have an option to make your recovery partition recovery disks or you must contact the manufacturer to buy them for a small fee. Very nice MOBO you got there by the way! ;-) Let us know whether, if that helps you. Make it a great day!

  • I had to replace my motherboard, that will affect my license of Vista?

    I had to replace the motherboard on my desk.  My OS is Vista.  I wanted to know if it was all I had to do before I start the system again.  Thank you.

    You probably need to reinstall Vista if it is a different model motherboard you have installed, as the installed operating system will not recognize the new hardware.

    And, if a different motherboard, you can have all kinds of problems.

    We do not know what type of license you have for reactivation after changing hardware.

  • Windows 7 genuine? New motherboard and processor

    Hello

    My motherboard and processor is dead, and you can buy them is out, so I had to buy a different motherboard and a different processor. Nothing has changed. Windows 7 activated without problem, it says "The Activation was successful" and that my Windows 7 is "authentic".

    What I've heard of before is now Windows 7 becoming not authentic after the installation of updates. Is this true? I have a legitimate copy of Windows bought on Amazon. I've already talked to Microsoft to see if I could turn on a new motherboard and CPU, and they said that the key was "good" and I could activate on the new Board of Directors and the CPU.

    So is this windows genuine? I have no call at all MS activation. And it will become inauthentic after installing updates?

    Thank you for your help. Happy new year!

    Alex

    Very well. I was advised by Tom Hardware forums and Windows 7 Forum that as long as the button is activated, it will be good to use, and it can be activated because unlike most recent motherboards, the motherboard has no SLIC, integrated into the BIOS feature.

    Thanks for your help.

    If vista came preinatalled your computer, it is rated an oem license as such is related to the material that it is initially installed on

    If you have a retail license, you can upgrade your card motherboard and CPU

    you will probably have to reinstall vista while the hard drive with the existing vista installation contains the drivers for the old motherboard and probably do not start correctly

  • change of motherboard and CPU

    I have been using a windows original vista for 2 years. My motherboard and cpu cracked and now I want to change them. How can I do this without losing my windows license

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can change what you want.

    Read the above.

    It is a very grey area, that you agree.

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer and try to get the same or similar motherboard.

    For activation problems, you can try this:
