Do i have to reinstall windows if i replace my motherboard?

[marc512]

As title says. Im thinking that it would be safe to because its like putting a full hard drive with a OS on it into another pc. Doesn't start up very well...

I would with any motherboard upgrade. Make sure you've got a retail licence of Windows, however.

I bought an upgrade disc because i didnt want all the microsoft programs etc, it says retail on the box,it worked when installing on a blank hd (im useing it now). It should work again right?

Made a new post on the kind of same subject, didnt want to mix them. Basicly i have been offered the same brand of mb, apart from its a higher end model. Should i still reinstall windows if i do get it?
