Read the oem Licensing agreement - Installing a new motherboard
(except under centain warranty conditions) and proceeding to install
an already used/activated copy of Windows OEM is a breach of the OEM

Read the excerpt from microsoft OEM system builder website in the
first
reply to this post!
The only way that a processor or motherboard can be changed (without
warranty issues) is on a Full Packaged Retail Product!
The lisence on OEM operating systems is married to the computer (the
Motherborad , CPU and other essential components) not the user and
that is specifically why reinstalling on a new motherboard is a
breach of the license!
The OEMs you are talking about are the ones preinstalled with the machine.
Yes they are tied to the machine. This is why I made the distinction in my
other post. Two types of OEM - branded OEM which come preinstalled with
systems, and generic OEM which can be purchased seperately.
