New motherboard, Windows 7 can be installed again

My Office Custom, which has Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it, has recently had mother decompose. The hard drive is completely safe and I will install a new motherboard in the tower.

My question is, since the original, or the motherboard, computer will not be in use, Windows 7 software may be transferred to the new motherboard. I have Windows 7 installed on another computer.

If Windows 7 Home Premium is an OEM license, then you can not transfer to a new motherboard. If this is a Windows 7 license in use elsewhere, you can not use it on the new motherboard.

The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

Some people have managed to reactivate the OEM licenses on a new motherboard on the phone, it's at least worth a try:
