Windows 8 is installed by download. My motherboard has failed, but the hard drive is ok. How can I get it back?

Windows 8 was downloaded beforehand as a test pplace for Windows XP and then paid for.  From there, I managed to create a Setup disk.  Now, five months later, my motherboard failed taking with it my CPU and RAM, but leaving intact system disk.

Microsoft phone support, told me that the disk image is crucial and so that I can transfer it to another computer and use windows from this disk again.  Is it that simple?

I have always understood, certainly with XP that activation has been defined by the hardware, especially the motherboard and processor.

Hello

Change the motherboard invites you to reactivate windows, you can refer to the activation of the phone, it would help you to reactivate windows.
