- Can I move an OEM licence to a new PC?
- No. Under Microsoft's OEM terms the licence stays with the device it was first installed on, and it cannot be transferred to a different computer.
- Does replacing the motherboard break my licence?
- For an OEM licence, Microsoft treats a motherboard replacement as a new PC, unless the board is replaced under warranty as a like-for-like repair. Retail licences survive the change but usually need reactivation.
- Can one licence cover two machines?
- No. The licences we sell cover a single device each. You need one licence per machine.
- Can this tool tell me if my key is genuine?
- No. Nothing here checks key validity, activation status or authenticity — it only explains the licence terms that apply to your situation.
