New Hardware - Windows Account

[idjekyll]

Gonna make my first mobo/cpu change so just want to confirm. As long as it's stated that my account is tied to my windows key, I just clean install Windows as per normal right? Don't need to contact Microsoft or whatever?

Yah seems to be the case. Just log in to your online windows account.

FYI I had to do it twice cause the first time it showed my 4790k as onky running 2c4t. Dunno why so reset bios and reinstall Windows again and now it's 4c8t. Anyone know why?

Just input a different key during installation.
