Motherboard replacement
I'm not sure exactly where to post / ask this question..
I have an old HP m8200n desktop.. It has been giving me problems turning on and I suspect the motherboard is the problem.
That said, If I replace the motherboard with the exact same model (nettle2 MCP61PM-HM, ver 1.0B), and use the same processor, (meaning I will take the CPU from the old MB and install it into the new MB) will windows 7 run without having to re-activate it?
Should I also move the BIOS chip from the old to new MB?
