I normally run with System Protection off because I am careful about what I download & run and in general like to have the minimum number of system tasks running. But lately I've been running with it on.

Bcdedit refers to C and BOOT..it's fine. In evelated command prompt:

Code:

bcdedit/set  {current}  description  "Windows 7 Home Premium"

That's just to change the description.

Allways put system protection on on OS disk!! It isn't a performance issue at all. It can save you a lot of trouble. For example in case of a bad patch.

I expect no problems after motherboard swap. Of course check device manager afterwards for unknown devices and problems. And check all new hardware. And install motherboard drivers

Thanks - I'll be building the system next week & will report back with my results.

Good luck with it. Report back when done or having problems
