Windows Os installs are usually tied to the hardware.Â
Â
If you want to sell the OS, you'd actually want to sell the key, assuming it's a retial copy it would be worthwhile. But most people wouldn't buy a copy of off you when they can buy an OEM one from a reputable outlet like Amazon/new egg for fairly cheap.
Â
I would wipe my drive and seell that on eBay, and offer the retail key seperately if you want. Not sure if anyone would byte. And obviously, you'd have to make sure you're not using the key yourself, otherwise the person who buys it won't be able to activate windows.
Bad idea. It's always recommended to do a fresh install if you change the motherboardMonsieurX
Kinda off topic or on topic here, If you upgrade your motherboard can you transfer windows 8 upgrade to the new motherboard or is that only for ome system builders windows 8?
I've tried researching it but I keep coming up with different answers that don't make a lot of since to me O.o

Yes you can do it. You might have to activate over the phone though however it's pretty easy so it's not really any extra effort.[QUOTE="gt350tsc"][QUOTE="MonsieurX"]Bad idea. It's always recommended to do a fresh install if you change the motherboardJohnF111

You can not use an upgrade version O.S., but a retail or O.E.M. is an easy install where you rarely have to call India.
You can use an upgrade version to make a fresh install. Done it a couple timesPlease Log In to post.
