Let's say hypothetically my original motherboard died which was tied to my OEM copy of windows 7. I then replace it with an entirely different, new motherboard. If I want to reactivate my original OEM win7 copy on my new motherboard, is it possible to do so without the installation discs? I don't see how it would be possible because don't you need the discs to at least prompt you to reactivate your operating system? Obviously the motherboard can't do this so some sort of software is needed to initiate the reactivation process correct?
