I need a way to swap MBR+CPU without reisntalling windows.

Lemmein

The title says it all. the reasons is that I have done a lot of tweaks on my current windows version and eveything is organized just the way I want it.

Does anyone here has a way that surely works to swap the motherboard and CPU without reinstalling windows? I know that it sometimes just works without any interventions but I cannot take the risk.

Yes. CPU you can do without an hassle.But with MB you need to reactivated Windows again. Microsoft usually lets you do this.

Don't forget to wipe Old chipset drivers and MB software.
