Hello,
I highly doubt a customer would be willing to pay me $35 an hour to replace a motherboard and keep the OS installation using "hacks".Sorry to interject people, but I was wondering if anybody has had any dealings with changing the mobo in a propriety computer, or knows of any forums I may read. I am hoping to upgrade my Compaq if it is possible. I m very happy after using this forum.
Thank You.

I was curious about that too. I upgraded my motherboard this past month and I didn't have to do anything with windows except reinstall drivers.

Note, its an old post, prior to latest service packs, updates etc. No mention of Vista or 7, I know reinstall is a pain, but wouldn't have it any other way.

I have 7 x64 and I had to change my motherboard. When it fried on me. It wouldnt activate, so I called MS and explained it to them. They gave me a new licence and everything is fine now.

I'm going to move from the MSI z77a-g41 to the ASRock z77 Extreme 4 (for obvious overclocking reasons). here are my specs:
- i7 3770K
- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
- Kingston Hyper X 120GB SSD (for OS and virus protection)
- Crucial M4 512GB SSD for games and Photoshop, etc...
- Seagate 2T for everything else (photos, video, music)
- Zotac GTX 680, 4GB (Amp edition)
I've had this current setup for about 1 month on my MSI and am now moving to the ASRock. What method would you all use to avoid re-installing Win 7?
