I HAVE OUTGROWN A GATEWAY AND WANT TO REPLACE THE MOTHERBOARD WITH AN AFTERMARKET ONE. SINCE THE HDD WAS CAME WITH PREINSTALLED VISTA PREMIUM HOME 64 DO I NEED TO DOWNLOAD ALL FILES TO ANOTHER HDD AND INSTALL A VIRGIN VISTA ON ANOTHER HDD AND REINSTALL FILES OR WILL THE CURRENT HDD VISTA OS WORK WITH NEW MB OR DO I NEED TO DO A DUAL BOOT SYSTEM TO START? ALWAYS BUILT WITH FRESH OS SO THIS IS A NEW ONE TO ME. HELP ME I HAVE A HEADACHE AND I HAVENT EVEN STARTED YET.

I would help you, but now I have a headche from reading all of your capital letters.

Headaches all around. Is you caps lock stuck or something?

You will have to use a fresh install of the OS since manufacturer licenses will not transfer to new systems.

thanks for the help. didnt know caps so offensive to everyone. just easier for me to read it is also the way i write. will try small ones in the future as to not give everyone headaches.

Its cool, just seems like you are yelling and I at least find it much more difficult to read.

 

[splediferiousone]

so my best bet is save all files to external. reformat hdd and start with fresh vista. thanks. will give it a go.
