So I have the G43-Z77 from MSI right now, if I got the G45-Z77  for the SLI support, would I have to fresh install windows being they are the same line and manufacturer?

Yeah, none of my IRL friends know sadly either...

 

 

But I LOVE the G400s. I mainly got it cuz price and it has the closest to 0 acceleration sensor. That is really important to me being I play almost only FPS games where I am sensitive to that kinda stuff. I would totally recommend it. I have a mostly palm grip with my fingers just a bit bent when gaming so I an shoot faster but full palm when I doing other things. I have a "Standard" sized hand, so not Linus small but not Slick huge.

I would reinstall windows to avoid having problems with drivers also. If activation doesn't work, I would use phone activation by doing Windows + R and typing in slui.exe 4.
