No, it shouldn't tell you it's pirated. And as long as you haven't changed several pieces of hardware in your system, it shouldn't give you any problems at all. If at some point you do upgrade your mobo/cpu, or a few other pieces of hardware, it may ask you to call Microsoft, but they never give you a hard time about it.
