If the activation on hardware is similar to previous then you can upgrade some components without issue. The system allocates "points" to various components and allows you to change upto a limit of points. So a GPU may cost one point, CPU 3 points, but a motherboard 4 points and you are limited to 5 points.

This allows you to update the GPU without issue but update both the MB and CPU wouldn't be allowed without interaction with M$.
