shoot, i've done this so many times it's not funny, just backup your hdd for "just in case" change out the mobo and fire it up, let "windows repair" completely run thru it's functions, and a few minutes after you finally get back to your desktop, windows will tell you "windows needs to be activated"...use the phone/keypad method and reactivate....so simple, no worries !

I can report that the switch was smooth as butter... Had to re-activate win7 and Office 2013, but no big deal... Thanks for everyone's help...
