Okay, so right now I have a Gigabyte m68mt-s2p mobo and an AMD FX-4100. Two horrible pieces of hardware. So, I'm going to be upgrading to an ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 mobo and an AMD AMD FX-8320. The issue is that I cannot find my physical copy of Windows 7 anywhere (moved cross country recently, believe it was lost in the process). Am I going to be able to complete this hardware upgrade without reinstalling a fresh copy of Windows? If so, what steps would I need to take? Or am I screwed and just have to go and buy a new physical copy?

Also, my copy of Windows is not OEM. It is not tied to my current motherboard.
