hi i have recently bought windows vista genuine andi have already registered and activated the product. now im having a question that im going to change the mother board and the processor to a new one, my question is that if i change the motherboard i will have to repair or re-install the windows vista after that i will have to re-activate the product so from that part i think that from microsoft will not accept the product regitration code. so is there any solution or idea for this matter. thank you.

afraid you will have to reload windows, yes. You can call them up and tell them you had to reinstall but still only have the copy on only one computer. They will give you a activation code.

yes youll have to reinstall it because the HALs will be different. It "may" startup with the new board but youll probably get alot of errors and BSODs and it would be more stable if you just did a rebuild.
