Hi. Was wondering...do I need to phone MS to re register my Ultimate, as its
gonna be new hardware and I suspect their will be authentication problems?
As soon as I boot up with the new hardware will it ask me to phone MS or what?

Cheers.

Probably so but it's no big deal - I have done this and it takes just a few
minutes.

You didn't have to "register" the first time. Registration is entirely
discretionary on your part. You DO have to activate.

You will likely have to reactivate your O/S with the new hardware.
