REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Upgrading all the PCs in the house: OS reinstall Confusion

I just re-built two machines in my house with new hardware, and I didn't have a problem re-activating either of them using the my existing Win 7 serials.

I figured that I would at least have to phone them to explain that I was upgrading the computers.

I think Microsoft just allows a certain number of activations after a period with the expectations that people upgrade hardware.
