Motherboard/CPU swap question re Windows
I'm gearing up to do another motherboard/CPU swap on my rig. I've done motherboard swaps before, but it's been years. I don't remember what I need to do to make sure I don't have to reinstall Windows. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'd make sure that you have the network drivers fir the new boa4d download onto a usb as well as the chopset drivers. If your usb is n8g enough, might asvwell download all the latest drivers for it.
Also make a windows save point before you swap.
