I am upgrading my motherboard from an ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 to an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z, how can I avoid re-installing windows 7?

Did the OS come with the computer or did you install it yourself?

I installed it from an OEM myself.

Ok. Then I don't think the OS will be linked to the mobo. I think you should be able to just switch it out.

Thank you very much, this helped a lot. I will update when the new mobo comes in.
