Depends on the type of OS you have, if its OEM, then you're against the EULA
since the OEM license is strictly for the hardware that was included with the
Windows license.

Activation isn't surprising since you've essentially replace the
motherboard, sound card, NIC, video card, disk controllers, and possibly the
CPU, so Windows will want to reactivate.
