will my OS C: drive still work perfectly on my next new MB same brand same model?
What if it's a different model?

Will there be some minor changes? Like, desktop items in some random order or something?It'll work regardless of motherboard - you can even swap between Intel and AMD. You'll have to make sure It's set as boot drive in BIOS if you have more than 1 drive.
Fantastic.Which operating system/s are you using? If using windows, you may have to reactivate it.
As to minor changes, I have not experienced any when performing the swap.

I see. ThanksNot just reactivate it you'll likely be forced to buy a new key if its an OEM installed OS even if you are the OEM who built the PC and bought and installed a genuine copy of the Windows OS.
You may have to talk nicely to MS customer support to try to get them to reactivate it and as the MB is new and the system ID will now be different that is not a given.
That usually works. No big deal though, a legit 10 pro key is less than $12. Not like the old days where it could cost more than the board.Not just reactivate it you'll likely be forced to buy a new key if its an OEM installed OS even if you are the OEM who built the PC and bought and installed a genuine copy of the Windows OS.

I hope you don't mean the shady sites selling such keys out there. Or is there some reputable site that I'm likely unaware of?No big deal though, a legit 10 pro key is less than $12.
I have been getting 10 pro keys for years from VIPSCDKEYS. Our sister site Tom's Hardware had an article a couple of years ago covering these keys. They are perfectly legit.I hope you don't mean the shady sites selling such keys out there. Or is there some reputable site that I'm likely unaware of?

That's it, members price on 10pro right now is $10.02. I have bought around a dozen 10 pro keys the last 4-5yrs and all have worked. It only takes at most, a couple of minutes to get the activation key after using paypal. I don't trust many vendors with CC info.
