Hi there,

My motherboard has died and I need to transfer reinstall Windows off
my oem disk - a friend tells me that this would breach lisencing and
I need a new version!

Is this true and is there anything else that I should know regarding
this?


There are many posts regarding this and many different answers and
interpretations. The short answer is you should have no difficulties if done
properly. There is nothing improper about repairing a system. I have done
this successfully. You will most likely be required to reactivate which is
what I did by phone. I was told there is never a problem if you are adding
hardware which includes every piece including the CPU.

Good Luck.
