Installing a new motherboard Windows 7
Last response: in Motherboards
I'm buying a new motherboard to replace my old one since i need another open PCI slot. is there anything I should know about how to install a new motherboard before I buy anything? or is it basically just unplug the old and plug in the new?
Also I doubt this is possible but is there any solition other than buying an entirely new motherboard if i need an extra PCI slot for a sound card (Asus Xonar DG)?
I still have the original system builder's copy of Windows 7 that I used when I first built the PC and yes I have checked to make sure everything I already have matches up with the new mobo specs so everything's compatible

Here's one video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7IPTHwsrwo. You're going to have some issues, but we all have with our first builds. Be patient and don't be alarmed if it isn't running the first day. If you have problems, I would sleep on it.
Okay so it is just plug and chug lol
But I guess my question comes more from a software perspective then.
Will there be any conflict between a new motherboard and the existing operating system?
I've heard that there are some drivers and other things that should be uninstalled before installing a new mother board, is that true?
Also, obviously a common question, do you need to reinstall the operating system after installing a new motherboard or anything of that nature (ie BIOS tweaks or something?)
