| | Installing new Mobo, do I need a new Win 7 Reinstall? Can I just hook up my install drive on the new mobo and it will load so I don't have to go through all the trouble of reinstalling everything? Or do I just need to run acronis and reload an Image? |

| | Just connect your drive and you should be good to go. You may need to update your chipset drivers, but your OS should be unaffected by the hardware change. I don't think you'll have any activation problems either unless you were to say change your mobo, hard drive and graphics card all at the same time. |

| | I agree with Seavixen. You should have no problem. I recently switched from an EVGA 730i mobo to an ASUS P5Q SE Plus & all went well. |

| | Well, maybe not when changing anything out, I mean you can install any type of hardware (/w drivers of course) and restart (warmboot) or start (coldboot). |
