Already have Windows 7 OEM, getting new motherboard
My PC is using an OEM copy of Windows 7 from the motherboard and HDD that came with a prebuilt HP PC. I'm getting a new motherboard next pay, and another copy of Windows 7. If I replace my motherboard and use the same HDD that has Windows 7 installed (OEM edition), is there an easy way to activate it with a code or something that will come with a new OEM edition? Or will I have to transfer all of my files over to another device, do a clean install, then retransfer?
