Hello

I am switching my motherboard (a GIGABYTE UD3H Z87) to a Gigabyte GA-H87N wifi.
the parts I am currently using with it is an i3-4130, a GTX 660 sc, WD blue 1tb.

What I do not know is what I need to do about my OS. I have my Windows 7 Home Premium disc and product key sticker with it that I have used already. So my question is, do I have to re install windows 7 completely or can I remove my motherboards drivers, then install the new MOBO driver and then switch them out or what?

You should get away with the driver replacement but you can use your Key again.

should I replace the drivers before I switch out the motherboards? or should I do it after I switch?
