They allow certain change in hardware without triggering activation.

You can check in account.microsoft.com

i'm gonna try and check with microsoft, this is really weird and i feel like they're spying on me lol.gif . i mean certain changes in hardware is one thing, this a whole new system. the only thing that i use back is the ssd and it's totally formatted before fresh install.
