Parts Replacement and Windows OEM
Hi, I'm bought a powerspec G706, I'm looking to go to microcenter to replace/upgrade a few parts and one of them is the motherboard. Will i have to repurchase windows 10 pro? or can i use the OEM key from the g706?

Greetings. The OEM key is tied to the original motherboard, so you would have to purchase Windows 10 again.
