Will Windows recognize a replacement motherboard of the same model?
I understand that Windows can get a bit...upset...if you change the motherboard without telling it, i.e. last time I upgraded my motherboard, I just whacked the new board in, and windows wouldn't boot because it thought it was a different computer...or something. If I am getting a replacement motherboard for a faulty one, which is the exact same make and model, but a different board, will I still need to do that "prep windows" thing which lets windows know you are going to be installing a new board?
Thanks,
Tom
