Yes with a phone call Microsoft can do anything if they so desire.
In my little experience with calls to Microsoft on such matters the motherboard had to be a matching board. Not a upgrade. Like I stated; Microsoft will make that decision.
Just a pointer, uATX is the same as mATX, miniATX. The μ symbol means "Micro" in this case. They are, in general, 9.6" x 8", sometimes less than 8.
finally found me one its coming from china as a referb but w/e thanks every one for the input
New HP P6640F HPE 410Y Alvorix RS880 uATX 620887 001 618937 001 Motherboard | eBay
That's about $122 with shipping, you could have got a new board cheaper from a US source with a workable warranty.
this was the closest MB to match both size screw pattern and my current hardware.
i would like to thank every one for their input on this, and im marking this as problem solved
thanks again
Hmm hope it goes ok for you Screwy I am VERY wary of Ebay stuff mate too but if that is the only way you have of getting one then I suppose you have not much choice.
What about a new build stuff is really quite cheap at the moment or so it seems in the US:)
i will, its still some where in china land right now lol been watching the tracking number it looks like circles
Ok, the new MB is in and installed. I'm currently installing Windows yet again, and I will update yet again when its done and drivers are up to date
WISH ME LUCK
