Hello, last night I- being the genius that I am- fried my motherboard on accident; it is an Asus M5A97 Evo (AM3+). I have tested all the other components by installing them in a different computer and they work but I want my computer back, so my question is this:
If I buy another M5A97 motherboard, will my copy of Windows 7 work on it?
I have read that Windows 7 installs paired specifically to the motherboard but can I get away by replacing my motherboard with one exactly like it and all the chipsets (AMD 970, SB950) are the same?
My other question is this: If, so long as the chipsets are the same, can I get away with the M5A97 LE?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Yhuzan
