current board is 6 yrs old (gigabyte ex58). Since the OS and programs are on the HD after I replace the board will there problems booting up to windows? My windows 7 is a full retail purchase version, not an upgrade from a previous windows so will there be any probs reactivating using the key? How can I tell if a new board model will fit my case? I have an intel i7 processor so that will have to be compatible with the new board so how can I tell this? I am not planning to upgrade any cards like video etc, just swap everything onto the new board. I installed the current board so am somewhat familiar with how to do that. Just had the questions. thanks!
