I'm planning to upgrade my laptop's RAM from 8GB to 20GB and I'm wondering if this will affect my Windows 11 Pro OEM license. Do I need to budget for a new license, or can I keep my current one with just the RAM change?

Exactly, no need to set aside money for that! Only motherboard changes would require a new license.
That's right, you only need to worry about a new license if you change the motherboard. Just upgrading your RAM won't trigger any licensing issues.
No, you won’t need to purchase a new Windows license just for upgrading your RAM. OEM licenses are tied to the motherboard, so as long as you're not changing that, you're all good!
Nope, as long as you stick with the same motherboard, you're fine. RAM upgrades don't affect your Windows license at all.
