OEM W7 and replaced mobo
Hello. Never even had a chance to get PC online and register and found out my asus mobo was faulty. I did installed OEM W7, however. What consequences, if any, do I know face as a result of swapping out mobo's? (activation wise?) I do plan on wiping the HDD drive and reinstalling windows, unless somebody with experience here recommends "not" to do this. The last thing I want to do, is get this thing up and running, fully loaded with all drivers, programs and the such and then have operating issues because I didn't reformat drive, due to the mobo exchange. Also not sure how MS knows that I changed this device, due to the fact that I was never even online. There is nothing dishonest going on here. Plz advise.
