Hi guys and gals,
I have been having major problems with a mobo (MSI 7390 K9N6SGM-V) so I have found a replacement board,(GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-US2H). I don't have a new hard drive, nor do I have the cash for one( so buying new one is not an option) What will I need to have on hand in order for my new mobo to work.Do I need to reformat the HD? I do have 2 purchased (not OEM) copies and licences of win 7 and win 8...I am also using a refurbished Phenom 2 x4 processor instead of athlon 64 x2 and 4 gb ram instead of 2gb ram....Any tips will be helpful.I plan on putting the new MB drivers, bios updates and utilities on a flash drive just in case I need them...Thanks in advance ~

Just an update..Last night I ended up just switching the boards, no format etc etc.and much to my surprize it went real smooth.Although I did have to re-install my OS and reactivate it, it was a very smooth process.Thanks for reading
