Windows 10 Activation

[johnbarry]

I am thinking of putting a Motherboard and CPU on ebay.

It’s my understanding that windows 10 is connected to the CPU (for activation)

Not sure but if so could I sell the CPU on it’s own with Windows 10 or should it go with the motherboard.

Cheers

I believe it’s a combination of motherboard & CPU. I wouldn’t be confident to “bundle” Windows 10 with either or even both together.

Given that W10 Pro can now be bought from E-Bay for £4 http://tinyurl.com/yd2nqsxb it’s not worth the risk to you (I’ve bought loads of cheap W10 Pro and Office 2016 Pro+ from EB this year with no issues).

Thanks Dave

I won’t bother with the Windows bit then just sell seperately.

Talking Office I brought some keys off ebay. They seemed to work, however now when I try to use the others they accept but won’t activate. You can’t phone to activate either. Online the page says I have brought ilegal keys etc and they no longer work.

I won’t be so quick in future.

Cheers
John
