Rma for the exact same Mobo, do I need to reinstall windows? Or can I install every game I need then just reboot with the new, same brand/type, motherboard?

second thing. since it’s the exact same there is no need to reinstall.

windows 10 has gotten pretty chill about hardware changes . due to it being the same board it is not really a change.

just make sure the bios is up to date in the new board

it should just work unless it's a prebuilt with windows installed on the mobo and not the drive.

I know all of their laptops, as for desktop, I remember having issues when repairing but I don't wanna be quoted as that being the issue. though we did need a specific device just to reinstall and update some stuff
