I may be replacing the motherboard in my HP desktop computer with an identical motherboard from HP. If I am reading correctly, I probably will not have to re-install Win 7 but will have to re-activate. Am I correct?
But I have another problem. I believe I also need to do a repair installation of Win 7 SP1. My original install disk is pre-SP1 and the media refresh install I was able to do has not fixed everything. If I un-install SP1 can I then do a repair install with my original disk? I can always run Windows Update later.
Or do I need a fresh copy of Win 7 with SP1 to do a repair install?
