Hello people I have recently changed my CPU, Motherboard and RAMs so I was planning on reinstalling windows on my PC. Last time I installed Windows was probably or so 10 years ago and I can't remember for the life of me how I activated it.

Any recommendations on activating the new install? Or is it too much trouble nowadays and should I just buy a key?

Any random win7/win10/win11 key works.
Personally I scratch of the old win7 keys of old customers that gave them to us for recycling amd use them for myself :)

Wait I could have used my (legit) win7 key for 11?
